Ah, no. I made a snap of the positions, printed it out, then used a mm ruler to calculate the distances. I already have a spread sheet that will then calculate the km. Then a college friend of mine put in an intercept time, but that doesn't work, however, the 3 knots (being my speed) to reach their crossing path was correct, but my friend has been unable to provide a formula which will tell me when we meet at that point. If I could get that to come out correctly it would be great.
Anyway, thanks a whole lot everyone for helping me.
I just have to decide whether I want to wait for them and then follow them until nightfall or go on the course of 234° for 97 nm.
