Hi R.O., Thanks for the email. I phoned OS yesterday and was told they don't actually have plans to update 0169 this year. Nor do they intend to rationalize...
Hi It may be of interest, that by using Multimap and searching by 6 figure grid refs instead of location name or postcode, you are automatically given the Lat ...

Jonathan I was at that training session as you know - a good event and thanks for organising it! In the main the commercial map makers were trying to portray...
Brian, Sorry, I didn't realise you were at the meeting! Although there are lots of inclosure maps to look through the nice thing about them is that if you find...
This topic is straying some way from the normal subject matter of the group, but there is a great big caveat about inclosure award evidence that ought to be...
