|
|
In the UK</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>In an ideal world, we would have a beautifully drawn up survey and
|
|
detailed guidebook descriptions of everything ready to show at the BCRA
|
|
conference (mid-September). Although we are getting better, it is in fact a
|
|
struggle to get these before next expedition ! Life is made particularly
|
|
difficult when bits of data and description arrive in dribs and drabs,
|
|
meaning a lot of piecemeal updating. By the time the majority of expo members
|
|
are back in Cambridge, it is at least two months since the return home, all
|
|
urgency has been lost and memories have faded. To avoid this, <b>think</b>:
|
|
|
|
<p>Did you have to leave Austria without finishing your sketching ? Use the
|
|
post or visit Cambridge ! Get hold of a centre line and draw up your survey
|
|
as soon as possible - don't leave it to the start of next term when your
|
|
memory will have faded.
|
|
|
|
<p>Have you written a passage description ? If not, do it when you get home.
|
|
If you can type it, so much the better, email it to
|
|
Andy Waddington <b><austria> at pennine.demon.co.uk</b>
|
|
and to
|
|
Wookey <b><wookey> at aleph1.co.uk</b> and
|
|
anyone else who may have been there. Failing that, send a disc to Andy or
|
|
Wookey (someone with email, at least) or whoever is in Cambridge doing the
|
|
drawing up. If you have to write it on paper, photocopy it, send a copy to
|
|
whoever has the survey book (to glue in) and to someone else who will take
|
|
the trouble to type it up and circulate it.
|
|
|
|
<p>Have you got the survey book or the log book ? Photocopy it so there is a
|
|
back up and get copies to other addresses before your house burns down. Get
|
|
copies (or the original) to Andy, Wookey, whoever is doing the drawing up, or
|
|
anyone who will volunteer to type in the logbook or cave descriptions.
|
|
|
|
<p>Have you got some good (even recognisable...) photographs ? Offer them
|
|
to whoever is doing the BCRA lecture. Try to get them scanned and send
|
|
jpegs to Andy, or even better, let Andy have 35mm negatives (not the
|
|
prints) or slides to scan - he now has a Nikon scanner which does even
|
|
better than the Photo-CD resolution used for the 1996 images..
|
|
|
|
<p>Have you some unique experience or amusing anecdote ? Write an article
|
|
for the exCS/CUCC mailing list, for the web site and/or the journal.
|
|
|
|
<p>Is the only copy of the survey data on your computer ? Get it backed up,
|
|
preferably including copies to other people involved. Version control may
|
|
be a pain, but multiple disc failures have caused total loss of the
|
|
Kaninchenhöhle dataset once already, and backup to another site
|
|
saves almost infinite grief.
|
|
|
|
<p>Have you got the <b>only</b> copy of <i>anything</i> else ? Make backups
|
|
and distribute them <b>now!</b>
|
|
|
|
<p>Are you a complete computer nerd with too much spare time ? Incorporate
|
|
all of the above into the web site :-)
