"Bleak, wet moorlands* and *a good bedding plant" are such telling phrases and so English; such understatement for a grass that should be in every garden and especially interesting since it's one of the few grasses where actual outdoor observations have been carried out documenting the early stages of germination.

If three LOPs can be obtained, the credibility of the resulting fix will improve considerably; the ideal crossing angles in this case would be 60°. Do not, however, expect to have a single point of intersection; this is unlikely due to unavoidable small inaccuracies in observations. Expect to get a small triangle, and then use its center, gauged visually, as the fix. If the triangle is large, discard the observations and try again. Normally, more than three EOPs are not taken.
