Well it was 50/50 back then now it has been recycled, I am actually surprised that my original waypoint plate has survived this long considering that I placed back in 2003, nearly 15years ago!!!!!!
So now it is no longer a simple guess of which co-ordinates to use.
You now need to do some figuring out to get to the final location.
On my waypoint plate you will find some stamped details. From this you will deduce the final waypoint location.
So let’s begin, your degrees and whole minutes do not change from the starting location only the decimals change.
S 33 36. SWA
E 150 43.MPY
S = the single number repeated the most times in both sets of co-ordinates
W = the three decimal digits of the first South equal 15, subtract from that the middle decimal digit
A = the second last number of the East decimal minutes from the second set of co-ordinates
M = the most common single number again.
P = subtract the fourth digit from the fifth digit in the East of the first co-ordinates
Y = First decimal number of the second set of co-ordinates.
NOTE I have hidden the co-ords on the page, you just need to find them.
S 33° 36.378′ E 150° 43.349′
For your own safety and protection, there is NO NEED to go beyond the fences…. AT ALL!!
The first waypoint is hanging on the fence and can be swung up to be read easily.
