I am in the North west region.

 

Would that be with the RPRA or NWHU

if the RPRA this is the only thing I could find regarding 'mapping'

 

 

187. Flying Distances

All NEW flying distances must be obtained

through the Association and calculated on the

Ellipsoidal System by Computer(s). The

Cumbria Region and the Devon and Cornwall

Region may grant permission for Clubs

administered by these regions to race to a

'Breaking Point' for Club racing only.

'Individual' members applying for distances

must have loft location or latitude/longitude

countersigned by a Club Chairman or

secretary. All loft locations are to be

calculated from Ordnance Survey

I think its the RPRA but i aint sure but its our fed rule that says all the mapping has to be done using a survayer i no that a club official can do it aswell but our fed wont accept it its crazy.
