Each entrant must be responsible for their own map reading and navigation and adhere to the Booking Terms. Notes: * Bearing [°] is the magnetic bearing (ie direction) of the footpath that initially leaves from point A. When using a compass, use 'Bearing (A to B)'. If using grid bearings (on devices such as some GPS's) subtract 3 degrees from the bearing figure shown. Grid Ref. - The first 3 figures is the reading from the x (horizontal) axis; the last 3 figures is the reading from the y (vertical) axis. Correct to within ~ 80m. Col = the 'dip' or saddle between two higher points/peaks.
