RombaldII, many thanks for your photos of the carvings on Rombalds Moor. Its good to see different ones other than the usual suspects.

However, I agree with the others about a chalking, it doesn't look that pretty & we want to limit any potential damage to the carvings. Boughey & Vickerman also state in PRAWR, "The use of chalk is now no longer recommended because of the possible mechanical and chemical damage to the carved surface". Their book took 10yrs to pull together so I'm sure their methods changed over that period.

I am currently surveying the carvings in PRAWR, I think I've logged about 200 so far & I know if I came across chalking it would take away my enjoyment of the carving. As Jan has suggested water & light positioning works wonders for picking up the carvings pattern.
