Abstract

In the pretend map above the grid reference for the church is 222563. This is because the closest line to the left of the church is 22 and the church itself is about 2 tenths of the way across between line 22 and 23, hence line 22 + 2 tenths = 222. The next bit is exactly the same, except this time you read up from line 56, then 3 more tenths until you reach the church, hence 56 + 3 tenths = 563. Remember to put the across numbers first, i.e. 222563. Can you find the farm on the map inside at 569831? If you can’t make a grid reference, then simply mark where you were on the map inside.
