Any chance of getting a GPS lat/long for this? If we do this I can put a link onto our marvellous maps!  :-) --Tim Hoddy 12:36, 18 July 2012 (BST)


Noticed I couldn't add to the discussion page without logging in (thats not right?).

FYI easy to do on streetmap.co.uk (just use the convert link beneath the map).

Re. discussion pages and logging in; We have had them like this for ages... otherwise we get swamped with spammers. Re. converting grid refs. to lat/long; this is ok as long as the grid ref. is pretty accurate; the easiest way to get an accurate grid ref. is to use a GPS!
One reason I didn't simply convert the Gower grid references from the current guide is that so many of them are clearly way off. I think UKC have done this on their maps and you can see just how inaccurate some of them are. My thinking is that, should you wish, you should be able to simply type in the lat/long into your phone/GPS and use it, (together with a bit of common sense), to get you to the foot of the crag. --Tim Hoddy 13:02, 20 July 2012 (BST)
