Cave Survey Data

Survey data for the caves of Thailand is being compiled in Walls. As of November 2024 the project has over 357 km of survey centre-line data.
The cave survey data, including scans of the survey notes, is archived at the Cave Registry Data Archive maintained by the British Caving Association.

129.7 km of the survey data has been acquired by the Shepton Mallet Caving Club between 2000 and 2024. The rest of the surveys are by Chiang Mai Rock Climbing Adventures (2020-2022 - 21.8 km), the Department of Mineral resources (2019-2024 - 15.6 km). Dean Smart and the RFD (1993-2005 - 45.6 km), the Australian expeditions to Mae Hong Son (1986-1990 - 13.3 km with thanks to John Dunkley and John Brush), Canberra Speleological Society (1997-2004 - 12.4 km), the Pang Ma Pha Cave Project (1998-1999 - 8.1 km), the Thailand Karst Hydrologic Project (1983-1984 - 7.5 km with thanks to Bob Benedict and Jeb Blakely) and the Orpheus Caving Club (2004 - 4.2 km with thanks to Simon Brooks)

Back up files of the Walls database and scanned survey notes are regularly deposited with the Shepton Mallet Caving Club in the UK.

I would be interested in receiving ANY cave survey notes to add to the database.
