Haaaaaaa, i've just shaved a big beard, shaving cream what an idea that was, modern technology eh, what about gps george do you use that for the rock art? [it's for pussys].
I do for recording , it's the only way to get a decent grid ref . Prior to that it was 30 m north east of the big rock and 25 metres south of the fence with the metyres paced out etc .
I've had phone calls from people asking if the gps reading is correct , they didn't realise it was and they were standing on it ,(just lift the turf ) and they are the pros .

Great stuff and a great point about been good for recording a new site, i was only joking, it just makes me laugh if i see someone gps in one hand, map in the other and they hardly look around at all, they spend most of their time out looking at those and not the surroundings, put them back in a landscape they've been before and they wouldn't even know they'd been there before half the time.
