    Yeah I'm not exactly a small lad and although 600 wouldn't work, it would be very snug for my shoulders!

    Underground drainage

    Cheers Ed, will give them a try also. Actually measured it today and was surprised to find out that we only actually need about One metre! So maybe an offset somewhere? Sadly in this instance 600mm wouldn't work. Cheers

    Underground drainage

    Ok Pete many thanks. It’s impossible to move the concrete where we are based so would need to be plastic. If you can get any from Avonmouth that would be great

    Staying on track

    If one has a surveyed depth and radio located point on surface, but has to dig a horizontally inclined tunnel to the point underground, how does one stay on track to the point. Ie; xM distance and xM depth? One could go over/under or to the sides of the surveyed point. Is it just a question of...

    Camera

    Hi all, Can you please recommend a digital camera for underground photos. I'm a complete novice to photography, so nothing expensive please. I've been using an old 2Mill Olympus C120, which is bulky and I always get loads of moisture spots which ruins the shot? I have asked about this before...

    White spots

    Can anyone put me wise please? I am using a basic digital flash camera underground. It works well, but a lot of the time the pics are ruined by hoards of white orbs. I have been told this is moisture? Sometimes the pics are perfect. I have tried wiping the lens, turning off lights etc, to no...
