Source of Grid Reference

Letters in brackets after grid reference show how it has been derived, listed below in descending order of reliability...

h: taken from the Database of British and Irish Hills
g: recorded by GPS receiver, but uncorroborated
t: grid ref of trig pillar (derived from OS website), note that the trig pillar may not mark the highest point
e: estimated from map (i.e. no actual readings), note that the point on the map (e.g. spot height) may not be at the highest point
e6: estimated to 6 digits only

Please contact the author with any grid references you have recorded, including a brief description of the actual point recorded - the more readings, the greater the accuracy of the grid ref
