For various reasons there were only 4 of us to accompany Roger today – a miserable damp, misty day with a cold breeze.
Mist © Jane Lunnon Pauline and Jane set to with the alidade – 2 vague figures in the mist on the far side of the field, while Ruth and Paul, assisted by ‘Bob’ attacked the banks in the top corner.
Having sorted us all out, Roger proceeded to plot a digital terrain map with the dGPS.

After an early lunch, having struggled all morning with the visibility, and with both the lens and the prism repeatedly misting up, ‘Bob’ decided he had had enough and refused to focus on the prism.
Jane and Pauline were also struggling with the visibility, so we decided to call it a day and retired to that nice tea-shop in Cracoe, leaving Roger alone on the hill-side to finish his map.
