A note from the administrator.

I have had to close the forum to new members. Registration is shut. I'm sorry for it - but I can no longer vouch for who comes through the door.

You may also find that certain older topics are no longer where you left them. I have, with great reluctance, removed a small number of threads and posts from this forum. I did so at the written request of a firm of solicitors acting for the landowner, who hold that the material touched on matters they would prefer were not aired in public.

I have complied, because I am one man and they are not. I want it set down plainly, here, that I did so under protest, and that I do not accept the grounds. Nothing removed was untrue. Nothing removed was anyone's business to suppress.

But I will not delete this board. What is left here stays, and you may read it for as long as I can keep the lights on. I have locked the doors; I have not burned the house. I have kept copies of everything. I would ask, gently, that those of you who hold anything of your own do the same.

Trevor. Thirty-one years with the Ordnance Survey, levelling and revision, lately retired and at a loose end. I am the man who will ask you for a six-figure grid reference when you say "the old barn", so you are warned. I notice the trig pillars and the benchmarks nobody else does. Glad to find others who care where exactly a thing is.
Everything has a grid reference, if you look hard enough.

Welcome. Precision is a virtue too little prized; you and I shall get on. E.S.
We retrieve what we can from the teeth of time. (after J. Aubrey)
