Just to clarify for the non beliveres
Goto
http://www.magic.gov.uk/website/magic/
click on interactive map
select radio button "full grid ref - x,y"
and input
320448,654474 (from the second code)
(the important thing about this code is the 320 & 654 - they northings and eastings, note they recur 3 times in the second line of code - so i thought Triangulation... when you plot the points - we only plotted 2 - however from the passing road (A702) there is a small track which goes RIGHT INTO the points. It is a farm. and on that farm is a disused Quarry.. no im not sayinng that is the lcoation... but bizzare that a path leads right into the plotted points ! )
check the points below and the path leading into it
select topic in the drop down as great britian
and click open map
NOW
where it gets real cool
is if you close that window / go back and select select radio button "Grid Ref - AB12(3)456"
and input nt222506 (from code 1)
and hit open map
its the same map
FAR Too much of a coincidence i would say

Congratulations!
You've cracked the location I'd say.
Those 8's still look like B's even if they're meant to be 8's

The only problem is why is the original code point to a location almost 5km away ?
I guess its worth checkong both areas on saturday.

Now heres somthing else of interest...
Just north and then east of the propsed loaction is an actual OS traingulation point.
its on top of a hill in Ledburn.
Triangulation points, also known as trig points, are marks used to establish horizontal position. These points may be marked by disks similar to benchmark disks. Often prominent features on buildings such as the tip of a church spire or chimney stack are also used for triangulation. In the United Kingdom triangulation points are often set in small concrete markers, which as well as functioning as a triangulation point, also have a benchmark set into the side of the monument.
i wonder if the original code points to the real location

Just had an idea off a mate guys.
G2H2 is chess coordinates for two pawns?
I dunno if its any relation tho.

yeah...because BoC is playing us like pawns...i hope for those who can make it out to the location actually find something...i am behind this 110%...best of luck...

So is anyone going who can record it in some way? I'd love to, but will be 400 miles away, can't drive and can't afford the train fare. Plus it's the first England game on that day...

Yeah, I'm a firm believer in wikis now... but truly, Redmoon gets the MVP award here. Now, I gotta get my flight!

Me neither
Maybe if I started walking right now I might get there by foot.
