Whilst on
expedition in
The course was
held at Bull Pot Farm and 7 eager students turned up on the Saturday. Andrew
led the course, ably assisted by Wookey, Footleg and Julian Todd who provided training on collecting
survey data using DistoXs and PDAs
underground and then transferring the data to a computer to allow the survey to
be drawn up using Therion.

Once the
initial training was completed, we all descended Bull Pot of the Witches to try
out these new techniques. Two teams calibrated the instruments and set about
surveying the bottom of the entrance pitch. Once this was completed, both
groups headed back to the farm to begin drawing up the finished surveys.
Finally, Julian gave us an introduction to using Tunnel, to enable us to have
an understanding of how this program works.
Overall, the course was a great
success with everyone learning a great deal about paperless surveying. Many
thanks go out to Andrew, Wookey, Footleg
and Julian for teaching us all how to use paperless surveying techniques
underground and thanks also to the Red Rose and CNCC for providing support and
funding for the weekend.
