Caves of Castleon - 3d Survey project.
Recently I have started to collate all the survey data I have access to for the Peak/Speedwell system. Various people have donated their data in an attempt to create a meaningful 3d model of the system in Survex. It is hoped to integrate this with the surface detail too in order to try and understand the whole area.
Also this will act as a location where data can be filed electronically and accessed by anyone with an interest.
I have now got to a stage where the data is running dry but there are still many areas of the system I haven't got survey data for. Some of these areas I know have been surveyed and I'm sure the numbers are out there somewhere. Hopefully this is the case, as the alternative is to resurvey the areas identified. Does anyone have any survey data for the following locations or know of anyone who has?
Ultimately it is hoped to extend the 3d area to the entire Castleton Catchment so the same applies to ALL THE CAVES. I only have Peak/Speedwell, Windy Knoll and Sidetrack Cave so far. But Survex can easily cope with every single one. Any data for any cave in the Castleton area will be entered on to the data base.
Go to the link below for the current Peak - Speedwell .3d file, link to Survex (if you haven't go the software to run it) and most importantly the list of areas we're missing.
