How to take a 6-figure grid reference with Steve Backshall and Ordnance Survey

#GetOutside champion and naturalist Steve Backshall continues the previous video on 4-figure gird references at • How to take a 4-figure... by explaining how to enhance this to a more accurate six-figure grid reference:
SU 265 166
A six-figure grid reference allows you to give a position accurate to 100m for a feature on a map. Learn how to subdivide the grid square to calculate the 6-figure grid ref.
This is a vital skill to find places on a map, and emergency services such as mountain rescue can use this to accurately find casualties.

[@Peter-uk3sp]

Whilst this is really helpful as I just bought an OS map and I found a good walking route in Lake District (OL6) but the coordinates for the different points on this route I found all start with 'NY'? These NY coordinates have no bearing on my OS map, I would have expected them to start with 'OL'. What am I missing here?

[@ordnancesurvey]

Hi Peter. The ‘NY’ reference number you are referring to is the National Grid reference number. These are linked to the National Grid which provides a unique reference system and can be applied to all OS maps of Great Britain, at all scales. Great Britain is covered by grid squares measuring 100 kilometres across and each grid square is identified by two letters.
We hope this helps. You can find out more here: getoutside.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/guides/beginners-guide-to-grid-references/

[@peterkarney6935]

Great video. I need a little help with some mapping question. I am helping my son get ready for a geography question about map reading skills and I need some help. The question is to find out the 6 figure grid reference of a pier that is named and marked on the map. An OS map is provided with the question. The pier stretches over several 6 figure grid references as it is 300m long. Is the 6 figure grid reference for the pier supposed to be the: start of the marked pier, the end of the pier, the middle of the pier? The lighthouse at the end of the pier if there is one. Advice would be amazing. This is for a GCSE paper so there is no reference as to whether the answer should be from the perspective of a walker or a sailor. What is the convention that should be applied if there is one?
