What we currently have
At the tackle store clearout (18th May) we counted:
- 1 good tape (there are 3 good tapes and 13 old tapes on the 'left at basecamp' list)
- 4 compass with working lights
- 2 clinos with working lights
- 1 compass with broken light
- 3 clinos with broken lights
- 1 pony
- 1 working pencil
There was also a daren drum with what looked like taken apart survey instruments/batteries in...
Wookey is going to put new batteries in the instruments so that the lights work Kathryn 17:45, 27 June 2008 (BST)
One silva clino has been retired (2008-07-11) due to loss of liquid.
Ponies
I've contacted Phil, asking for a new Pony for CUCC. He's kindly offered to lend us one if he can't make a new one in time. Ollie s
Distos
Do we want more distos? - the club currently only has one, and they are very useful. Ollie s
- Currently applying for some disto sponsorship - wil keep you posted. Edvin
I've ordered (2008-07-11) one Leica D2 for the club (More expensive than the Bosch but more waterproff, small,lighter, with backlight, probably easier to interface to a SAP). Uses 2xAA batts.
Paper & pencils
I expect we need to buy several more pads of waterproof paper- I think we were running out last year. I googled "waterproof paper caving" and was excited to find that both CUCC and Wookey are mentioned in the first result- [1]. I guess we should call 01473 890285 and order a few Waterbooks then.
We don't need to use waterproof paper most of the time though - how much dry paper (which is much cheaper) do we have? [Becka]
Wookey is going to get some waterproof paper for us Kathryn 17:36, 27 June 2008 (BST)
Ordered (2008-07-11) 3 x chartwell waterproof red plastic notebooks (quadrille-marked) 2 x 2647 chartwell rag paper miners transit books (ruled one side, graph the other)
Survey tapes

With 3 laser-tapes, 1 screwfix tape (above) and 3 'good condition' tapes I reckon that's enough.
Nail Polish

Idealy you want 2 per team, so that means at least 10 are needed. Someone should probably weed out the crap-colour ones and bring them back/throw them away.[Wookey]
