Went out last week with Charles onto the big field. Measured the angle that the centre-line of the road makes with respect to North: 22 degrees E (approx NNE). This will allow us to draw the direction of the road on a map and estimate where to survey next. Our best guess is the paddock behind the bungalow on the corner of Sheriff Hutton Road and Pottery Lane, "Springfield".


We also measured-in the centre-line of the road on the fences at the top and bottom of the field - this will make it easier to locate the road in the future without having to construct the survey base lines.


A new survey base line was set up and measured-in so we can make a start with the survey of the ridge & furrow to the east of the road towards the river. We may have to wait until after the grass has been cut, as currently it's like walking through a thin layer of treacle (and will get thicker, again!).
