    JUst another point - I'm fine with map reading etc - not that it will be needed, but can anybody advise what the SD references are on the site detailing the checkpoints and how we can convert to OS reference?

    Doesn't SD refer to the particular OS map? If so SD might mean South Dales. The numeric part of the grid reference is..er the grid reference

    So I take it the 2 x 5 digit numers of SD 83850 73399 for Pen-y-ghent summit are equivalent to the OS 838734. Cheers you sarcy git

    Its just grid referencing taken to the extreme thats all - I think it narrows down the grid reference to the nearest blade of grass
