Rob
had planned to meet Brian at Caversham Bridge (712747) at 10.00
a.m., but when he arrived there his mobile 'phone rang. It was Brian! |
| Brian: | I'm
on my bike at the Post Office in Goring Heath. I don't know which
way to go to get to Caversham Bridge. Have you brought your OS map? |
| Rob: | Yes,
fortunately I have. Goring Heath is north west of here at Grid Reference______________.
You are __________ km away from Caversham Bridge as the crow flies
[in a straight line]. That won't take you long to pedal! |
| Brian: | Will
it be hard work? Do I have to pedal up-hill? |
| Rob: | Not
much. At the moment you are about ___________m above sea level, and
I am about ____________m. |
| Brian: | Good,
but I hope it isn't too steep. My brakes aren't working too well.
The lady at the Post Office said I could take the road that leads
south-east from here, but that the road that leads south-west would
be nicer because it leads to a track alongside the river. Do you think
that would be a good route? |
| Rob: | No,
because ____________________________________ _______________________________________________. Take the road heading south-east. After about 0.5 km you will go into a _______, then you will pass a _________________ on your left. When you leave the _______________ ride on for about ______km, on gently sloping land, until you reach Trench Green. |
| Brian: | Which
road should I take from there? |
| Rob: | The
Reading road is ________________________. You will have to ride up
a gentle slope and at the top of the rise there is a _________________.
The height there is _____________m. After that you soon meet the main road. It is numbered the ___________. Turn ________ towards Reading. |

I nearly there yet? |
| Rob: | Yes.
You will soon come to a built-up area called ___________ __________.
You will pass a church with a ___________ on your ________side. Soon
after that you will come to a junction. Turn ___________. You will
soon be able to see me on the bridge. |
| Brian: | Thanks
Rob. Your mapreading and clear instructions have saved me. |
| Rob: | I hope so. I sometimes wonder why I bother with you, though. |
