[Stones] handy grid reference finder

[Wolf Thandoy]

Greetings all,

Stumbled across these credit card size plastic map measuring thingies  
on eBay.co.uk - with both 1:50,000 (Landranger) and 1:25,000  
(Explorer) scales for six digit references - but the same bloke has a  
'buy 2, get 1 free' deal on his website (which works out to £1.50  
each, inclusive),

Mine arrived swiftly - despite my being in Spain - and I reckon  
they're brilliant. Only thing I am tempted to do is punch a small  
lanyard hole in one corner, a larger one (for circling map sites)  
further along, and stripe a sort of 'screen protector' (layer of  
clear 2 inch packing tape) over the printed side to impede the ink  
wearing off... but as I have three, I'll test the first to failure by  
carting about continually.

I had a big flimsy one made by Silva (the compass people) - this is  
much neater, sturdier, easy to carry at all times, and highly  
unlikely to rumple or crack (unlike the Silva, which is bent, folded,  
spindled and mutilated just from riding around in a rucksack).


And no, i am not affiliated (only wish I'd thought of it)...

Wolf
