Don't guess grades - get them right using a clinometer
•
desired grade is achieved with a CLINOMETER
•
learn how to use it before you start
•
grade should not exceed 6°
•
whether operating alone or as a twosome, remember that it is your eye level that you are projecting
•
track alignments are identified by FLAGGING - 20mm wide light blue plastic tape which contrasts best against vegetation and rocks
•
secure flagging to vegetation at head height. Leave a free 200mm tail which flutters and is easy to see
•
remember to remove all flagging as soon as it has served its purpose
