- 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...
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
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)
Survey tapes
The stuff in austria list says we have 16 tape measures at base camp, of which 3 are in good condition. Let's buy a few more! -Aaron 08:27, 21 May 2008 (BST)
I can probably get 30m Tajima open-reel fibre tape measures (they're good!) for about 6 or 7 quid in Chongqing (I need to check the current price). My mum's coming to visit soon and I could send some back to the UK with her. Duncan Collis 13:27, 30 May 2008 (BST)
James Hickson says that there are some tape measures with Mark's stuff in his garage, so we probably don't need any more. Kathryn 17:35, 27 June 2008 (BST)
