Hi Mike,

 

I use ordanance survey landranger maps and you can get them from any book shop ie WH SMITH.

 

Just look at the areas you are likely to shoot and buy the appropriate map.It tells you which map you need on the list of coordinates.

 

You can also look on www.getamap.co.uk and buy the landranger map there,looking at it they are a little cheaper on the site than in the shop.

 

When you get your maps just pencil in the fields by using the coordinates then off you go(use pencil cos the fields will change each year).

 

Hope this was of some use,

cheers AUBS that seems straight forward even for me.

The landranger maps are good but it would also be a good idea to go to the Ordnance Survey website Get a Map service and get a print out of the specific area. This will show the area on a better scale with the field boundaries clearly marked.

thanks ferretmanabu have tried the web its dead easy to find right fields and then print out or transfer to bigger map.

 

thanks for all the advise.

You could try Multimap-you just need the grid co-ordinates and the prefix. Even gives you an aerial photo so you can work out possible places to set up in advance.
