Survying and distances

Today kick ass. We started off by survying the whole perimetre of Tafe to find all the rises and falls. Then we got back and put it all into a graph and a table. In my group was Rob and Mick and we were hell better then Greg and Rhys. The thing I loved about that excersise was that as we were graphing we could clearly see how the ground was rising and falling.

In the afternoon Paul taught us how to use the Dumpies to find the distances between two points. That was really good because it gives you a close estermation of the distance. Our Dumpy was only 300cm off over 63m which isn't all that bad.

Tomorrow we are going to learn how to mark out the floor of a house and I can't wait.
