There's a hill in the peak district covered with a few hundered boulders which are arranged in about ten groups over an area of a about a square mile. Fortunatly there is a trig point in the middle of one of the clumps that can act as a point of reference for everything.
How should I go about making the survey? The idea I have at the moment is to treat the trig point as the origin and, for each of the groups of boulders, take the distance and bearing of a prominent member of the group, from the trig point. Then for each group, take the distance and bearing of each boulder from the prominent boulder that I chose to take bearing of from the trig point. This will give me the position of every boulder in a group with respect to a 'chief' boulder, and the position of each chief boulder from the trig point.
But is there an easier way?
Cheers.
By the way its not for a cave survey its for a climbing guidebook to routes on the boulders.
