Apr 3, 2004 ROEHAMPTON SCHOOL CAVE Position: WGS84 - 18 24' 17.2" N, 77 54' 36.7" W, +/- 5m Field notes: MARK BELLINGER Cavers: R. S. Stewart, G. van Rentergem, I. C. Conolley, M. Bellinger, R. Stirling. Time in: 11:30 EST, Time out: 15:30 EST THREAT VULNERABILITY: Intermediate This cave was tight and wet. Slogging thru the wet on your knees and belly was pretty standard. I started this cave supporting Guy in a survey. It's painstaking work, but very interesting to see the results. We took distance, direction and inclination/declination measurements at 52? separate points. That night at Miss Lilly's, Guy put the data in to provide a skeleton of the cave route we followed. Along with his pictures and drawings, Guy will be making a map of the cave. Fascinating. Personal observations include the leaving of my bag (and batteries) while continuing to explore. The tight squeeze made me want to be rid of my bag. However, fresh batteries were in the bag and I would have been better off with them. And, as my sense of direction is so poor, I like more flags rather than less. |
