    University - computer science project

    When I did my dissertation in the 90's, one option was to do something with cave surveying and rendering the results in 3D. Much like Survex is now. I did something else unrelated to caves! Chris.

    Coniston Parking

    It's complicated. The road is not a public highway. But there are lots of properties up there that enjoy vehicular access. How an angry person would be able to know which property you intend to visit I don't know. Almost all of the land is owned by Rydal Estates, but the owner of the old mill /...

    It takes the land registry months if not years to update their records... Chris.
