For some of
the walks (mainly full day walks on Sundays) a
number of Group members gather at
the car park in South Brook Road,
just beyond the Rail Enquiry Bureau at Southampton
Central Railway Station entrance
Commercial Road side (see
map), to
share cars before moving on to the start of the walk.
[Note that the car park was previously described as opposite
the Victory PH, but the PH has closed.]
Meeting times at the Central Station are
'ready to leave' and are shown below in the walk
description. We cannot guarantee that
there will always be cars available. Advice on this and on
other aspects of our events may be available on 023 8055 3883.

In
the grid reference, the two letters (e.g. SU) give the
100km square , for most maps this can be ignored without
confusion, then the first three figures are read across
the bottom of the map from the left side and the next three
figures are read up the side of the map from the bottom.
Where the two grid lines from these cross is the
indicated point. An explanation of this is also given in
the key on the map.
Alternatively since you have access to the web, go to
www.streetmap.co.uk
, click to select 'Landranger grid' (note,do
not select 'OS grid'). Enter
the grid ref given above with no spaces, for example
SU852220, then click 'Search'. You should get a map showing the
location. If you are still not sure where this, is
click on the -ve sign, bottom right corner, to zoom out
until you get a smaller scale map showing you the general
area. |
