<h1>Drawing up your survey</h1>
<p>The original notes and sketches should be filed in a clearly marked
envelope - don't take them out until you are ready to draw up, and put them
away again as soon as you have finished. They may never be referred to again,
but ultimately they are the most valuable record of your survey and are kept
for reference if there is ever a problem.

<p>Take the printed centre lines and redraw the survey round it, working from
the original sketches as if this was to be the final published survey. You
can "invent" details like boulders in boulder-strewn passage, but otherwise,
draw only what was recorded faithfully in the cave. If this makes your
drawing look bad - record more next time ! If things really are unclear,
consider taking a copy of this drawing back into the cave to clarify it.

For pitches, several plans at different levels may be easiest (rather like
the cross sections at each survey station used in horizontal passage). Also
projected elevations may be useful in addition to the extended section.

<!-- This looks like a rather hollow joke in the context of the last year's
experience: it's now late April 2004, and the 204 survey is only just
approaching completion. This shows how easy it is for these things to go wrong.
The chief problems were a change of software and the fact that the Expo printer
broke down last summer, so a number of surveys never got drawn up. -->
