Field survey update

  

This is the final survey plot of our road in the big field using earth resistance equipment. The two linear features are clear from top to bottom of the field if a bit wobbly in the middle (due to slight mis-alignment of the survey grids - well, that's my story). Overall length of the survey about 324m. Total no. of grids in the plot = 40. Each grid needed 400m of data collection. So between us, we've walked at least 16 kilometres or 10 miles! I get tired just thinking about that!

Next up is the survey of the ridge & furrow to the east/right of the road. Would someone care to do a sun dance?

Field survey update

The final 6 grids of the road survey were completed today. Apart from when we were laying out the grids, we were lucky that the showers held off and the sun shone (on the righteous!). The left-hand North-South feature can be seen clearly and there is also no sign of any other road joining. The ridge & furrow features running East-West are prominent. Next up for survey are the ridge & furrow features seen on the earlier survey results. We'll get round to them later in the summer, perhaps, when the grass has been cut.

The full survey results will follow soon.
