    Whats all this about??

    Wolverhampton tomorrow.

    The distances are odd.

    for example:

    7.00 - 1m141y

    7.30 - 7f32y

    Anyone know what this Y thing is? Is it yards?

    I must show my ignorance here and admit that I cant measure distance in yards.

    Would the 7.30 be 7f (32 when expressed in yards)


    OR

    7f AND 32 yards?

    yep yards - they have been doing this for sometime now. It used to read
    7f (7f32y) but now they just tell you the exact(hmmm!) distance.

    They original measured with a piece of string and feet, but when GPS came out they realised for some reason the old method wasn't accurate
