Greg,
why would you need a chapter on GPS, we know where Port Arthur is? As for a
recipe from Denis, does he know how to cook? What about a Thylacyine stew?
I hope you keep the guts of it and add rather than remove sections. All
this fancy technology is nice but knowing how to lay out a square when the
Total Station is somewhere else or the battery is flat is essential. I
almost bought an allidade at a secondhand tool show for that reason.
Anyway hurry up, my first edition is wearing out.
yours
Iain Stuart
