As you may be aware, Leica Geosystems UK have very kindly sponsored the cave surveying competitions at Hidden Earth in 2013 and 2014 with two Disto X310 each year and we also have two for 2015 as prizes.

I can now confirm that Leica Geosystems will be extending their support for these competitions from 2016 to 2019 inclusive with two Disto X310 each year.

Given that the Disto X310 is the basis of the DistoX2 for Cave Surveying.
This represents a great opportunity to get your hands on an X310.

Get out there surveying !

As per 2013 and 2014, the prizes for 2015 will be awarded for the best survey print chosen by Hidden Earth delegates and for the best submission to the BCA Cave Survey archive as judged by the Cave Surveying Group.

Just to throw a spanner in your dates, there is no Hidden Earth in 2016 as we are hosting the Eurospeleo event instead.  (y)

There will almost certainly be some sort of surveying competitions at Eurospeleo 2016 so I'm sure Leica Geosystems will be just as happy to support this event in 2016 which will hopefully have a much larger attendance than HE.

Maybe Kevin can confirm this with them?

But there is, Les, it'll just be bigger, better and at a slightly different time in 2016  :D

2016 Hidden Earth on Steroids (also known as Euro Speleo 2016) will be from 13-20 August at Dalesbridge, Yorkshire Dales.

The prizes can be available for 2016 (Hidden Europe ?) subject to discussion at the Cave Surveying Group AGM to be held at Hidden Earth 2015. Any modifications or differences to the current competitions will be published in plenty of time.

Leica Geosystems appreciate the additional publicity that a large European attendance will provide in 2016.

Get out there cave surveying.
If you can not get your survey finished in time for this year's competitions, there will always be the future years to try and win a Disto X310.
