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).

A description of the characteristics of the mountain including any hazards of which you should be aware.

  Description
Beinn Resipol is an isolated mountain virtually on its own peninsula, with Loch Sunart to the S and a chain of fresh water lochs connecting to the sea to the N.

Beinn Resipol is a very craggy mountain, particularly on its N slopes, and its slopes are fairly steep in places. An old path originally used by lead miners gives access to the E ridge which offers an easy route to the top.

Hazards you may encounter on Beinn Resipol include
 Crags on or near ascent routes.
 Crags near summit.
 
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.

Fantastic hill day with awesome summit panorama due to isolated location on Ardnamurchan peninsula. Mull, Rhum, Eigg, Muck, Skye, Harris and west highland mountains all I recommend the Ariundle centre + seperate bunkhouse behind Strontian for food and accommodation, excellent meal and real ale before retiring to ensuite bunkroom to myself.
