It extends as far east as Royston, goes as far West as Buckingham, but not as far as Leicester or Nottingham. It goes as far South as just below Milton Keynes and contains Grantham and Boston at the top.

| − | Will hopefully be there, uncertain if the exact location is accessible, is there a protocol for selecting a substitute location if we cant gain access? [[User:Android|Android]] 19:28, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

| − | I'm just aiming to get to the closest possible point to it, which I think is about 2/3 down Spring Lane. --[[User:AvengerPenguin|AvengerPenguin]] 07:23, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

| − | | |
| − | Oh, and also I might be in the The Royal George in Stagsden from about 2pm before heading over to the point about half 3 (so as to be there for 4) :-) --[[User:AvengerPenguin|AvengerPenguin]] 07:25, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

| − | I was wondering if http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=52.1285,+-0.551&ie=UTF8&ll=52.128496,-0.55099&spn=0.007034,0.015342&t=h&z=16&iwloc=addr might be a better meeting point, it appears to be on a bridleway and some other kind of public access (although the resolution of the map I found wasn't high enough to tell what kind), it might also prove more convenient than the side of the road (not sure how much space there will be there).

| − | Ok, I'm going to aim for your suggestion and if I cannot get there somehow, fall back to the side of the road as I said. I think that would be best. --[[User:AvengerPenguin|AvengerPenguin]] 09:47, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

| − | Just to be clear, the point I'm talking about is http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?daddr=%2B52%C2%B0+7%27+35.93%22,+-0%C2%B0+32%27+51.12%22+(52.126648,+-0.547533)&geocode=&dirflg=&saddr=Stagsden&f=d&hl=en&sll=52.126006,-0.546741&sspn=0.010684,0.026951&ie=UTF8&ll=52.128799,-0.561676&spn=0.010683,0.026951&t=h&z=16 (Google has set point B automatically as the closest you can get by road). As I said, I'll try your idea first, but if it's not a public path or anything like that, then I'll try for that point B there. --[[User:AvengerPenguin|AvengerPenguin]] 10:18, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
