<p>The logbook is the place where we record the rigging of caves as we discover them. You will manually copy the notes you made underground into the logbook.
<p>Writing up this and the final rigging guide is an important part of the Expo cave exploration process and is documented in <a href="survey/newrig.html">a specific "rigging" section</a> the survey handbook.

<h4>Type it up</h4>
<p>If you are at basecamp, then it is an excellent idea to
<b>type the text of your logbook trip report</b> instead of writing it by hand - see <a href="#type">below</a>. But still do lots of drawings in the paper logbook.
<p>The contents of both the topcamp logbook and the basecamp logbook are typed into the same
"logbook.html" file for future use in tracking down leads and surveys. The drawings are scanned and stored in the same place, and hand-edited
into the logbook.html file after expo finished. The typed notes are uploaded into the expo server database and
correlated with survey data done on the same day or by the same people.

which is then synchronised the version control system.
<p>The result is a webpage reporting who did what and what was done by whom on expo,

<p>If you are up on the plateau, just write it up on your phone. OK you can't sketch diagrams really, but you can include photos easily. Just do it as a n email or a pot.
<p>We will have an online form for uploading logbook entries (text only, and HTML links to images) for the 2024 expo at <a href="/logbookedit/">/logbookedit/</a>.
<h3 =id="type">Typing your trip report - in the UK Caving Blog</h3>
<p>In recent years we have seen an admirable increase in the number of people writing up their trips and experiences on social media and in particular on the UK Caving blog, see <a href="https://ukcaving.com/board/index.php?topic=25249.0">2019 Blog</a>. But please, please also make a handwritten entry in the logbook saying you have done this so that the text and pictures can be transcribed later. It is too easy to lose these: in 2018 there were two blogs in operation and most people didn't know that.

<p>As handwriting can be very bad, please try to type the text, print it and stick it in the logbook, adding any sketches by hand.
This will save someone (probably you) deciphering your handwriting and typing it up later.
<p>These days, just write up your trip as a message on your phone and post it to the Matrix chat group 'expo' (<a href="https://app.element.io/#/room/#expo:matrix.org">app.element.io/#/room/#expo:matrix.org</a>), or email it to a nerd.
