A divers slate is a plastic slate that folds out, so you have 4 sides of A5. The one I have comes with an underwater pencil. They cost about £4 and last forever. Mine has ot be 10 years old now.

Just an idea - if you get rained on, your notes won't turn to mush! Then copy down your field notes in a nice hard cover notebook at home, neatly. You can never write neatly in the field.
That is well worth knowing, thanks.
Even if It's not raining damp grass is also an enemy of the note book.
