Ordnance Survey OS OL 17 Explorer Snowdon Map

Product Information

National Grid references are used to accurately pinpoint your location on an Ordnance Survey map. A series of faint blue lines on every map makes up a numbered grid that is used to create the National Grid reference. This is a simple way of finding points and places on a map, to give to others as a meeting location or to quote if you get into trouble and need to specify exactly where you are. Aside from the peak of Glyder Fach and the walk through Cwm Tryfan, you will likely have this walk all to yourself. From the car park behind Joe Browns in Capel Curig, turn right onto the lane and follow it to the farm house, before taking the path onto open countryside.

On this tour you’ll enjoy stunning views of Snowdon and its dramatic mountain range from the comfort of your Kayak This is different to a Hewitt which applies to peaks in England, Wales and Ireland. By this definition a mountain is defined as being over 200ft (610m) in height but with a rise of 98.4ft (30m). Description: Map sheet number 81 in the OS Landranger map series covers an area of the Northumberland National park as far as Sharperton in the east and the Northumbrian coastline from just south of Blyth to Craster.Whilst in Llanberis be sure to visit Pete’s Eats for a proper mug of tea and a hearty breakfast! Capel Curig An easy way to remember this is that to get the first number, you go along the corridor (horizontal, x axis, eastings) and then up the stairs (vertical, y axis, northings).

Description: Map sheet number 196 in the OS Landranger map series is the ideal map to use when planning a day trip or holiday in the Solent and Isle of Wight area. The area is famous for sailing, coastal walks and the New Forest national park. These paths are also marked on various mapping apps. A great free option is maps.me, alternatively consider an annual subscription to OS to have access to all UK OS maps on your mobile.The romer lines marked on the base plate of most compasses can help you to get a more accurate grid reference. You choose the scale of the map you’re using and then move the compass base plate over the map to show the tenths within a map square. This is more accurate than guessing the tenth gradations within a square Variations of grid references Cader Idris or Cadair Idris is found in Southern Snowdonia away from main hub surrounding Mount Snowdon. This loop provides a beautiful scenic walk and is a must-do for anyone exploring Snowdonia National Park. Coming in at number 10 on this list of Welsh mountains is Yr Elen, which is another from the Carneddau range. Yr Elen is found just to the west of Carnedd Llywelyn to which it is connected by a ridge. Yr Elen tends to attract little attention from walkers since it stands as a spur away from the main ridge. Hikes to Yr Elen are often combined in loops with Llywelyn and Dafydd. Description: Map sheet number 98 in the OS Landranger map series is the ideal map for planning your day trips and holidays to the Yorkshire Dales including Wensleydale and Upper Wharfedale.

This relatively low-level walk has a little bit of everything! It offers great mountain views, tumbling river cascades, pretty villages and some interesting Welsh history. Before we look at what the grid reference numbers mean, it’s important to understand the wider picture of the National Grid. This challenging mountain day takes in several Snowdonia ridges and summits and should only be attempted if you’re comfortable in the mountains and with scrambling along exposed edges.With preceding numbers identifying the Ordnance Survey map sheet number – ‘17/609543’ for OS Explorer Map OL17 or ‘115/609543’ for OS Landranger Map sheet 115. Pay and Display but you must pre-book a parking space if you’re parking at Pen y Pass from 1 April until 30 October, 2023. If the car park is full and you are keen to walk from Pen-y-Pass you can use the Sherpa'r Wyddfa Park and Ride Service running from Nant Peris and Llanberis car parks.

The first letter, for example ‘S’, denotes 500 km by 500 km squares and this is subdivided into 25 squares that are 100 km by 100 km within it, making ‘ST’, ‘SU’, ‘SO’ and so on.

Secrets

There are four main first letters: ‘S’, ‘T’, ‘N’ and ‘H’ covering Great Britain, plus an ‘O’ square covering a tiny part of North Yorkshire that is usually below tide. As somebody who grew up surrounded by these Welsh mountains and who has hiked many of them, I wanted to share this little tid-bit of knowledge with you all. The largest mountains in Wales are certainly not that large when compared to peaks in the Himalayas or the Alps, but they are beautiful none the less and offer their own unique challenges and rewards. Just beyond Glyder Fach summit is the Cantilever stone which makes for an iconic Snowdonia photo. From Glyder Fach you can descend to Bwlch Tryfan via Bristly Ridge if you’re feeling brave, however I suggest taking the easier path to the east. Description: Map sheet number 41 in the OS Landranger map series is the ideal map to use when planning a trip to the Ben Nevis, Fort William and Glen Coe area. The area is famous for its spectacular views and challenging walks. It is a great place to get away from it all.
