The final location is inside the Okehampton range and access will be limited to non-firing times; the timetable can be found here. Warning signals, red flags by day and red lamps by night, indicate that live firing is taking place within the range boundaries, which are marked by red and white poles. When warning signals are displayed do not cross the range boundary.

Stage 1: Use your OL28 1:25000 map
At the Yes Tor triangulation point, you follow the track south for approximately 1km. A large steep sided valley is apparent below. You descend the valley and search for a suitable point to cross the river and locate a ford. Crossing the river, you ascend the other side of the valley and head to a small tor some 40m below the peak of the hill. From this tor, you make your way to another that is 1.7km distant due west. Which OS grid square are you now in? Grid = ABCD
