From Cambridge University Caving Club - CUCC wiki
To catch up on last year's data we need to:
Contents
Logbook
- Finish typing the 2007 logbook. You can help! The second book is in the tackle store, and Pete Harley has the first book.
204 sketching and QM management
- The 204 QM lists appear to be way out of date, this is quite a big problem. http://cucc.survex.com/expo/smkridge/204/qm.html#qmextant shows that the lists haven't been updated since 2004. If we begin by adding the 2007 QMs, then we can try and deal with 06 and 05 afterwards.
- Finish joining up all the tunnel sketches, and make a big master 204 sketch. Dave L was in charge of this last year, but he's writing up his PhD at the moment and thus very busy. [1] and [2] show the status of each survey and scans of notes. Most of the surveys not identified are surface surveys or prospecting trips. It looks like the only missing 204 areas, which someone needs to draw using tunnel, are
- Terra Firma II
- Slimy II
- Software III
Tunnocks sketching and QM management
- Finish ticking off the tunnocks QMs, and make a final Tunnocks sketch. A draft with QMs labeled is now available at Image:TunnocksQMd.png. Please check this out and make sure it matches your memory of the cave.-Aaron 18:20, 27 May 2008 (BST)
- Becka, question: you wrote in the 13th Aug logbook entry that a QM before dubious pleasure was ticked off. Was this 07-40C?
- Becka, question: you wrote in the 5th Aug logbook entry that a QMC in the entrance became a QMB. Which one was this?
- Frank, question: What's the lead at the bottom of fat rat / secret squirrel? An A? I have it pencilled in as 07-66A.
- It's an 'A' --Frank 20:05, 28 May 2008 (BST)
- Thanks. -Aaron 20:32, 28 May 2008 (BST)
- I think this QM is a good candidate for connecting to 204. Duncan Collis 09:07, 1 June 2008 (BST)
- I think the pitches (which I bolted) are incorrectly marked on the survey; there appears to be a p30 followed by a p10, then a small passage heading off to the QM. My recollection is that where the p30 is marked is actually an easy climb down a gulley. The 30m pitch should be about where the p10 is marked. Then there is a short section of awkward passage to a short pitch, which I think is less than 10m. A warning: bolting the second pitch was extremely awkward due to the confined working space, and I subsequently found that I'd put the left-hand bolt into a flake; either a new bolt should be put in in some better rock, or the Y should at least be rigged with most of the load on the other side.

- Ollie, question: Did we tick off 06-30C when we did Pantin Sales?
Expo survex.com site
- Update the expo survex website. You can help!
Aquiring useful nearby survey data
- This doesn't really fit in anywhere, here will do for now: Get copies of UBSS descriptions and locations. Recces are getting quite close to some of these caves, and it would be good to know where they are. Quite possibly they will need to be tagged with Kataster numbers. The descriptions, etc, are online: Duncan Collis 09:42, 1 June 2008 (BST)
