Adding the box to your map.


For this example we will used my Dizzy Box, Dizzy the 100th Member (taken off the moor for the winter).
Firstly you have to remember to deduct 3 degrees from you clues.
Ok, Widecombe Church bears 259 1/2° so we will reduce that to 256 1/2°, do this with every bearing you plot onto your map.
Set your compass to the appropiate bearing, in this case we will use 256 1/2°. Align your compass with your map so that the north red arrow within your compass bezel points north and the black lines within the bezel line up with the light blue vertical lines on your map. Make sure you don't chance your compass bearing of 256 1/2°. See Image 2.

Plot a line on your map with a soft pencil, then do the same thing with this bearing:
Tunhill Rocks High Point 188 1/2° (so on the map 185 1/2°).
Where the lines cross over on your map should be where the box is! Image 3 & Image 4.
If you have a laminated map only! I then use a fine tip permanent marker to plot the cross,
this will wipe off with a little cream cleaner. Have fun!
