[QUOTE="onthehoof, post: 7798281, member: 11104"] Back to original post after a bit of head scratching I think I’ve sussed it. [ATTACH type="full" alt="9FF1EBA8-747D-489B-BF09-4FA15067FFAF.jpeg"]992288[/ATTACH] It’s a new plan over the top of an old plan, as suggested the dotted plus solid lines are the old drains and the single solid lines are the new drains, regarding the numbers up the sides the numbers on the outside of the field refer to the distance between the old drains and the numbers on the inside of the field refer to the distance between the new drains, this makes sense as it means the lines are drawn to scale and the numbers are written halfway between the two either old drains or new drains. On the left hand side I had already found the first new drain at 60ft from the bottom line (ditch). Today I tried to find the next drain up so measured 155ft up from the first new drain, dug for two hours found nothing, came home and looked at map again, so realising how its been done the second drain (old drain) wont be 155ft from the first drain but 155ft from the bottom ditch, the next (old) drain should be 101ft from this one, the next one (new) should be 249 ft from the first drain although it has 172’ written next to it refers to the distance between the two old drains and again the next number up 286’ doesn’t refer to the old drain it sits on but the distance between the two new drains. The thing to remember is the number is written halfway between the two drains to which it is referring to. [/QUOTE]
