So that's where the term "blooming hell" originated from....
We go out into the hills to lose ourselves, not to get lost. You are only lost if you need to be somewhere else and if you really need to be somewhere else then you're probably in the wrong place to begin with.

As I recall, it was a slightly racier exclamation.....

Re: January's Virtual Winter Event 2021 (Covid lockdown edition) Jan 9th and 10th
Just had a thought, for you folk in England and Wales its easy enough to stick GR's on Bridleways or byways but not so simple up here. ROW's or Core paths aren't shown on the OS and would take a fair bit of detective work to find on the various council websites. Although we can technically go anywhere in reality its not like that and away from open moors and hills you are quite limited. So you may need to fiddle the draw to put Scotland residents together??
Re: January's Virtual Winter Event 2021 (Covid lockdown edition) Jan 9th and 10th
I think I know the answer but I’ve got my map sorted, do I hold on to it until you assign me a partner? Cheers
Don’t die wondering...

Hi Jay, yes we'll do the partner draw this Sunday. Good stuff with your own map, although of course you won't know which other map you'll need for working out some GRs for your partner until you find out where said partner lives . (I'm still wondering who's going to have to obtain a map of Lanzarote!). Apologies if I've misunderstood your question.

Are you sure? Normally as soon as one of us 'southerners' mentions Right of Way Colin pops up to brag about how you can go anywhere
We'll just pick grid refs that are on the HT550, CL or B350, in fact perhaps if you join them up it will be one of those or all of them combined

No that's perfect, nice one. I have an old map of spain somewhere next to the donkey in a sombrero and maracas i brought back from Benidorm once, Lanzarote cant be too far away from that?RIP wrote: ↑Tue Dec 08, 2020 10:48 amHi Jay, yes we'll do the partner draw this Sunday.

I once joined all those up and it made a very rude shape indeed.We'll just pick grid refs that are on the HT550, CL or B350, in fact perhaps if you join them up it will be one of those or all of them combined
