5) Insert Low Water Time - Marked as C (don’t forget to add an hour for BST if relevant)

6) Springs or Neaps? 

7) Mark a line from the time we want to know height of tide, up to either the Spring or Neap line on the curve - Marked as 1 

8) Draw a line from our curve to where it intersects the HW/LW line - Marked as 2
