Stamping out the markers for the checkpoints.

looking forwaed to it ,always a dam good meet ,lets hope its going to be a big turn out again with all the effort you put into it LAWRENCE

[Laurence]

I was out and about this afternoon putting the final markers out, even found one of last years still on a post.

I’ll get the coordinates uploaded really soon to give you guys a little bit of time to plan a route? Like last year, I’ll make a document with a photo, ‘clue’, and the location.

I think the number of off road/road markers is pretty even, so don’t be deterred in coming if mud isn’t your thing!

Now to think of a trophy before my surgery renders me useless next week

I've already got a couple of people to join me on my version of an MT meet.

Here's a google drive folder with a pdf document with the coordinates and all the photo clues.

I'll print out some answer sheets for on the day. I won't have any spare maps, but I've used an OS Landranger 188.

This website is brilliant for plotting OS coordinates digitally. You have to enter 'TQ' before the 6 digit coordinate.
For example, if you search 'TQ682414' that takes you to The Halfway House in Brenchley.
It looks like you can plot the coordinates to create a route and then export this to your satnav if you're good at that sort of thing!

If you are sleeping in landy that will be the car park at the pub and the tent camping is in the pub garden next to it.

Yup. Basically wherever in the pub garden, usually towards the back. I’m aiming to be there mid afternoon.
