[Closed] How can I find a bothy's postcode?

Can you not just give them the OS grid reference? Most bothies don't get mail delivered as it happens so a postcode is a moot point 🙂

i've seen somewhere recently whereby you put in a GR and it'll give you a postcode for the area. can't remember where but i'll let you know if i remember which site it's on.
it wasn't very good so don't hold your breath.

There is no facility to allow for a GR. Such is life 🙁

Streetmap

Click on the correct point then at the bottom click on "click here to convert coordinates" one of the bits of info is nearest postcode.

agree with Trio. That's how I do it for our site compunds in the middle of nowhere.

Cheers, that works a treat.

Just be aware that the postcode area is a polygon. In all likelihood the jigsaw manufacturer will take the centre of the polygon as the centre of your jigsaw. I'd bet a decent sum, that centre of the postcode polygon is nowhere near the location of the bothy. Can you not talk to someone at the company and explain the situation? Some of the postcode polygons for the highlands are bloody huge.

Geoffj- I'm going to do just what you suggest. The postcode given me is for an ex youth hostel blummin miles from the bothy.

Why not just fork out £10 and join the MBA?? You'll get all the info you need, and be conributing to the upkeep of the Bothies..

TTS- The pressie is for a fellow MBA member. Have you read the thread at all?

Yeah, I've read it, and I'm sure that one of the last magazines that i was sent had all the addys in it?

You have editted your most recent reply. It is an improvement. Thank you.

Can you not use the PON code instead?

Phoned them today. They were honest enoughto tell me that they wouldn't be able to do it before Christmas. I like honest, it's good.
