Finding a Grid Reference

[+PeakFault]

I am planning on setting a cache on Forestry Commission land and have found the appropriate contact and the information I have to supply them with.

 

The only thing I am struggling for is a Grid Refernce for my cache location.

Confusingly I have looked online but found 3 different Grid References!! I don't know which to trust!

 

Anyone know a simple way of finding the info I need?

 

In my email I have supplied the exact coordinates of my cache. Will that be enough or will they still want the Grid Reference?

 

Any help much appreciated.

There's a good lat/long to OS grid ref converter HERE.

If you've set up the cache page -doesn't need to be submitted for review- there should be a link to StreetMap.co.uk which will show the OS grid ref under 'convert these coordinates' and show a map to confirm it's the right area! (Watch out for East/West settings)

Or right under the Lat/Long co-ords for any listing (archived, live, or not) you'll find the OS reference. Should be accurate enough for the FC. Edit - this only works for Trads, of course
