Ordnance Survey Practice

It has come to light that a number of competitors while having excellent off road driving skills are a little rusty on their OS navigation. So I have compiled this short test to remind you how to sort out your Eastings from Your Northings.

Step 1 - Click here to find a very useful interactive guide to OS navigation from their own site, or here for a printable .pdf version. Come back here when you have read it.

Step 2 - Purchase a copy of Ordnance Survey Land Ranger Map number 153. (ISBN 0-319-22753-7)

Step 3 - Answering the following questions, plot a continuous route (No U-turns) as follows.

Start at TL112563 (Ducks Cross) Proceed to : -

1. TL101575 - What is your altitude?

2. TL094552 - Has church got a tower or spire?

3. TL074557 - What is located here?

4. TL061584 - What End?

5. TL088587 - What is located here?

6. TL109586 - Has church got a tower or spire?

7. TL130577 - Name Farm?

8. TL151570 - Name Farm?
