Pacing

Accuracy

1:100

Method

Don't try to pace out one metre with every step. Walk casually over 100m counting the number of steps. Work out the length of a casual step and use this instead.

Example

It takes 125 steps to walk 100(m) so 100/125 = 0.8(m) for the casual step.
If the number of steps measured is 89 steps then the distance is 89 x 0.8 = 71.2(m).

Summary

Examples Of Usage

• Used for rough identification surveys.

Factors Which Influence The Use Of Pacing

• Low accuracy
• No equipment needed
• Unimpeded paths of travel required between survey points

Equipment Used

None needed.
