Within 1k but not on the same grid square.within 1 km of a named bridge
1:25kIs this named bridge marked on the map 1:50 or 1:25k ?

Re: Found this today.
My last stab at it tonight then... was the named bridge in question Penmaenpool ( toll bridge ) and is the mine workings Clogau mine? Im searching on google earth and the maps at possible tracks u may of been checking out and theres one that runs north of the mine workings? But im wrong

Re: Found this today.
Ah, I was looking at this location on the map the other night while trying to decipher the BB200 route. I figure this was connected to your 2 mile hike a bike through the bracken?
