Which preconceptions?

Very helpful to others for their visits though, especially when time is short.
I'm a self confessed pussy btw. :)

I do for recording , it's the only way to get a decent grid ref . Prior to that it was 30 m north east of the big rock and 25 metres south of the fence with the metyres paced out etc .
I've had phone calls from people asking if the gps reading is correct , they didn't realise it was and they were standing on it ,(just lift the turf ) and they are the pros .

I don't have a watch never mind a mobile phone .
It's not that long ago since I discovered shaving foam in a can . It's like having a washing machine .
Jeeze... I’ve never tried shaving with a washing machine – how do you do that without getting yourself in a spin :-)
Now you can appreciate just how great the can discovery was . Still use the wshing machine for washing hair and making sauces though .

Would have been very helpful if the people who built Trevethy had one, and logged all the stone co-ordinates. ;)
I do prefer a "manual" bimble, but taking an accurate grid ref on each site visit is a good thing imo. I have had feedback from pecsaetan saying people appreciated them, people who may well not have visited without having it.
A good example is the old womans stone on Bamford Moor, a bugger to find for most.

Great stuff and a great point about been good for recording a new site, i was only joking, it just makes me laugh if i see someone gps in one hand, map in the other and they hardly look around at all, they spend most of their time out looking at those and not the surroundings, put them back in a landscape they've been before and they wouldn't even know they'd been there before half the time.

when hill walking I often dump my rucksack on a fence line or prominent rock if there is one and come back later , handy if it's misty or cloud comes down just have to find the line and keep to it but with the gps I can leave it anywhere as long as you remember to take the ref and the gps with you .
