Waterproof observer cards

[dave_t]

For many years we have used a waterproof observers card which is a carbon type paper in a sealed plastic cover, just write on the plastic and the details appear inside, a none working biro is the best for the job. If it is a wet trial or the plastic gets covered in mud just cut off the plastic covers and you have a nice clean set of sheets to produce results from. We purchase these from Vic Madeley of Mid Wales Trail Riders Association, e-mail vic@mwtra.co.uk, the last 100 we had a few months ago cost in round figures

Remember the urban myth? The Russians used a pencil in space and the Americans spent a million on a pen......

Apparently the reason you cant use a pencil is graphite / broken lead + intricate electronic components/computers, added to no gravity, bad combination.

bdmc - had no idea Stacy's did 188W - for years we've used 188 . My next stupid question is What do you use to write on them with? Pencil or Biro I'll obviously follow your suggestion up, it's an insignificant cost penalty

Pen or biro no problem
