If you re-write it, please use proper Grid Refs. Eg. For the Greygarth Monument you gave "OS298 194725". What on earth does the 298 mean. Please give the full national ref and use {{gbmapping}} or one of the many other Grid ref templates. And in any case, I believe it is about 1 km too far east! Thus: grid reference SE185723. -- RHaworth 02:23, 21 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

As you can see from the username, THAT'S MY POST on the Google Earth forum, so I hereby give you permission to RESTORE IT on Wikipedia!

OS298 means Ordinance Survey Explorer 298. Most seem to write just the easting and northing, but I thought it would be HELPFUL to provide additional reference. My apologies, though the issue is now moot.
