<h3>Instructions</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>There should be several blank copies of this New Cave Data sheet in the lever-arch file
|
|
holding the plastic survey wallets, after the index sheet.
|
|
<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. <var>2050-BH-03</var> if it is the third cave disovered by Dr. Bunsen Honeydew on the 2050 expo. 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><span style="font-variant: small-caps;">NEW in 2026: </span> Take a screen-shot of <a href="/handbook/survey/gps.htm">the GPStest app</a> which will record the coordinates and the time the GPS was taken.
|
|
<p><span style="font-variant: small-caps;">NEW in 2026: </span> Write down the distance and compass direction taken from the GPS point to the entrance to the cave: to where the tag is, if there is one. This will usually be 5 to 10m. Use <a href="/handbook/computing/phonecompass.html">the compass app</a> in your phone and a <a href="/handbook/survey/gps.htm#surface-leg">bit of string</a>.
|
|
|
|
<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.
|
|
|
|
<p>Occasionally, an entrance is discovered during a surface survey,
|
|
and no underground exploration is done, in
|
|
which case this data sheet should be put in the same wallet
|
|
as the surface survey notes.
|
|
<p>Anyone setting out on a surface prospecting trip should take
|
|
a few of these with them and fill them out in
|
|
the field at the new entrance.

<h4>Why we ask for the time</h4>
|
|
<p>GPS readings sometimes go walkabout during a period of ionospheric disturbance (an hour or so, which happen several times a day) or whenever there is a Russian invasion. We intend to keep a continuous record of GPS at basecamp so that we can identify these periods where GPS records are not to be trusted.
