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??

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 :smile: . (I'm still wondering who's going to have to obtain a map of Lanzarote!). Apologies if I've misunderstood your question.

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 :lol:

Can we get any more for Scotland or anywhere in the UK for that matter joined up before Saturday evening?
