[QUOTE="Village, post: 53558, member: 1900"] Hi Lee simply you stand at a point, look back up the stream, take a bearing with a compass, convert it to a back bearing, then use that as your course heading to sample on. If it was me I would draw a line through the visible stream , and take a bearing, then if your bearing is less then 180 deg, you add 180, if your bearing is greater then 180, you subtract 180 degs. Water is like man, it takes the least path of resistance, and the quickest route between two points is in a straight line. This would then give you a base line to commence sampling on. Lee I do apologise for the nomenclature, opps sorry words, I don't mean it, just in geology, basically we are lazy, we have words which the meaning can not be explained in less the 600 words. It's truly not on purpose. If I do please feel free to pull me up. [/QUOTE]
