Cave Surveying



Author: Anthony J Day

ISBN 0 900265 25 6

This booklet is number 11 in the BCRA Cave Studies Series. It is subtitled "A Guide to the Equipment, Techniques and Methodology of the BCRA System" and acted as a replacement for An Introduction to Cave Suveying by B M Ellis, 1998 (No. 2 in the Cave Studies Series).

At the time of writing this review (2011), it is clear that surveying technology has moved on somewhat in terms of electronic instruments and computer packages for producing finished surveys. The author does warn that this would rapidly be the case, however.

The book is well written and presented. Much of the content is still valid and highly useful.
