<p>This has fallen out of use in recent years, but is needed because the online form for registering a new cave
is complicated and needs some thought, whereas anyone can fill out this paper data sheet immediately.
<p>The Cave Tag Number is the identifier on the aluminium tage (if mounted at the entrance) e.g. "2025-DW-01". This encodes the year of discovery, two letters, usually the unique initials of one of the discoverers, and a serial number for caves discovered this year by that person. <br>Note that this identifier must NOT end in a LETTER. It must end in a DIGIT. Only entrance identifiers end in a (lower-case) letter. Cave identifiers must end in a digit.
<p>Usually the paper sheet will be put away in the same plastic wallet as that used for the underground survey notes
and sketches of the newly-discovered cave, and the entrance location will be entered as GPS coordinates.
