Snow up Helvellyn! I have dragged myself and skis up to the Lake District Ski Club before now. Today I am surveying in the low lands for a drainage diversion scheme.

Topographical Survey, Lake Windermere
Through the telescope I can see people eating sandwiches on the top Gummer’s How which I have walked up many times. I am actually here to map an intricate paving layout, so it can be removed then replaced after fixing a leak.
Land Surveying in Kendal
A lidar drone might measure the banks easier than this, but I would still need the survey pole to measure the bed levels. Often there is no substitute for The Total Station. This survey is recording bank erosion and the undermining of a footbridge.
