Charting Scotland as an Amateur, Bob Bradfield

Evening Meeting at RHYC  Woolverstone.

When cruising on the West Coast of Scotland Bob Bradfield became dissatisfied with the accuracy and level of detail contained on the UKHO charts that were available. In many cases they were based on lead line surveys dating from the 19th century, contained insufficient detail to use when seeking out a sheltered spot at the head of a loch or inlet and were sometimes downright wrong. So he taught himself to make his own surveys and charts and then how to make them available to a wider public via the internet as Antares Charts.

We heard Bob’s talk at a meeting of the East Midlands Section and promptly booked him for Suffolk and the RHYC.
