Admin Michelle Young Posted 5 August Admin Share Posted 5 August Welcome to the forum. What’s the context, is there a sheet number as well? That map reference could be in many places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteMere Posted 9 August Author Share Posted 9 August Hello sorry for the delay 'long week'! here is a copy of the entire note, it is inside a pigeon message capsule, I guess the recipient would have known where it was coming from. Thought it would have been good to pinpoint the area, thanks anyway, Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
