Cave Surveying Workshop - Outline
CUCC, Cambridge, Tuesday 25th of June 2013
Why survey? To find your way in new cave, to be able to read better other people's surveys, etc.
Types of surveys and how to read a survey
Part I: in the cave
How do you draw a survey?
How to measure the central line? Segments and instruments
How to take notes? Material and structure
What to draw? Approx. extended elevation and top views
Practical
Part II: after the cave
Introduce the measures in the computer
Create the central line and fit in a broader survey (with survex)
Print and draw with the appropriate proportions
Scan the polished drawing
(Draw your survey in digital (with tunnel)--if we have the time and Julian is around)
Computer practical
