MAP: Red = GPS satellite track of the walk. As this was a repeat of the walk done on the 25th May, the whole map of the track is not being repeated here. The section of the red track of the walk shows our wanderings on the old 1861 rifle range, looking for the range marker stones. On this occasion, we got the bearing of the first lane wrong. However, we did locate the four butts and the four obsrvation pits, plus a small number of 100, 150 & 200 yard marker stones. Next time, we'll be better prepared with marker poles, flags etc.
