South East Trail Finder

[Laurence]

Laurence, to find the places to be identified, will you be posting 6 figure OS grid references?

That’s the plan, I haven’t set the points yet, but I’m hoping to get out this weekend to start plotting.

I’m going to take a photo of each location and record the grid reference.

I know Dave is a fan of his satnav, I’m assuming that needs long and lat?

I'm not sure what I need Laurence but I can change the format to use whatever you choose i think,
I shall look forward to learning,

Dave.

That’s an idea and not hard to do.
I’m going out this weekend to put out the markers, I’ll record the coordinates and the what 3 words.

I’m going out this weekend to put out the markers.

Put one in the beer garden so I can join in.

That was already factored for

Here we go.

This year there are 16 waypoints to find; eight are road based and accessible via tarmac and the other eight are located on byways.

A square plate can be found at each site with a five digit code stamped on it. These are nailed in place usually on a wooden post, but not exclusively. The plates are not hidden, look for an obvious location within the photo and you won’t be far off the mark.

A six digit coordinate has been recorded for each site. I used an OS Landranger map when plotting the course, it might be easier if you source your own, you’ll want ‘Maidstone and Royal Tunbridge Wells 188’. Feel free to use other methods of mapping.

As requested, I’ve also taken a What3Words location for each waypoint.

Follow the google drive link below for a pdf file that contains all the photos, grid references and what3words. I'm hoping you guys can save it to a phone rather than print the whole thing! I'm happy to print out the 'answer' sheet for use on the day.
