This is the standard notation used on Ordnance Survey Landranger maps.
Each reference consists of two letters identifying a 100,000 metre square block then three digits defining the Easting and finally the three digits defining the Northing with reference to the South West corner of the block.
NN166712 is the grid reference for the summit of Ben Nevis. Where you are given the map number ( For Ben Nevis = 41) it is acceptable to omit the two initial letters e.g. 166712. (Instructions on how to read the references are given on the OS maps).

Cruach Innse and its smaller neighbour Sgurr Innse (Corbett) (809m) lie 2km apart separated by a col (593m) and are naturally climbed together. They are located on the S side of Glen Spean.
Cruach Innse is a conical hill compressed SW to NE. It is a steep sided mountain with rocky outcrops on the SE and S slopes. Sgurr Innse is the rockier of the two and requires some minor scrambling to reach the top.
|
|
Hazards you may encounter on Cruach Innse include
|
| Steep slopes on or near ascent routes. |
|
| Stony/rocky Slopes on or near ascent routes. |
|
| Crags near summit. |
|
| Scrambling (minor), easy hand and footholds. |
|
|
| |
|
General Considerations
|
| Temperature decreases by 1degree C for every 100m of ascent. |
|
| Wind usually increases with altitude. |
|
| Visibility can change markedly with cloud level. |
|
| River/Stream levels can increase markedly in one day. |
