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).

7th June 2009. From the south-eastern end of Lochan Fada a faint path leads across to the stream which descends from Bealach Odhar (west of Meall Garbh) and follows its east bank, past an impressive gorge. This path is indistinct over boggy sections (as at the start) and also over the rocks at the bealach. It is clear above these up to the summit.
