Many thanks, Woll, for your kind comments about the Exhibition, and I'm glad you enjoyed the mapping event on the final Saturday. It's just a shame that we didn't have better weather for the cruise on the lake.
I remember using an alidade just like the left hand one in your link at university. We were supposed to circumnavigate a castle and plot the outer wall, dried-up moat, etc. It proved much easier said than done, but this may have been because there were thirty other teams all trying to do likewise at the same time, and thus an awful lot of tangled measuring chains. At least the Swallows, etc, didn't have that problem in Secret Water...
I can't really comment objectively on how good the exhibition and talks were. But the feedback we've had from Brantwood suggests the exhibition was popular, and reactions to it from their visitors were very positive. It was great to see a number of friendly TARS faces at the talks too, as well as interest from the general public, both from the Brantwood and Lakeland Arts Trust Friends' organisations, and other locals and visitors.
