Am I being thick or... (Geography homework)

Most of the homework is asking the 4 figure or 6 figure grid references for places on the map

Have they left the grid reference off?

Isn't it usually across the top and side?

The 90/91 And 24/25 are the gtidline, you can infer the other numbers by estimating where the position is between the two main numbers.

The big blue numbers?

GrannyAchingsShepherdsHut · 13/10/2022 21:18

It's the big blue numbers op!

(This so something I would do!)

So the phone is at 9051N 2409E for example (roughly!)

mrsjimhopper · 13/10/2022 21:24

The phone is 905 241.

This is one of those times where you can't see for looking.
If they're only asking for a 6 figure grid ref, then you quote 24x 90y where x and y are the distances you estimate within the 24 90 square, so if it was a point slap bang in the middle of the square, like the outdoor centre maybe you'd say 245905

mrsjimhopper · 13/10/2022 21:25

Sorry 241 905

Donchah · 13/10/2022 21:25

I'm so glad I'm not in school anymore 😩

Thankyou!

Ahhh my favourite neck of the woods in the whole world! No help sorry.

mrsjimhopper · 13/10/2022 21:28

To be fair it's a daft map for this activity. Write grid numbers along the bottom and the side to make it easier.

Mine too! Was there very recently.

The cafe at Nichol End Marina does the best fruit scones I've ever tasted!

@cataline I used to go to after-school sailing club at Nichol End!
