 Posted: 22:08 - 28 Oct 2010 Post subject: Four points |
 |
|
Well I`ve just been using the search button, but nothing I needed came up!
So I was thinking about the "Four-Points of Mainland Britan".
According to my maps and my guesstomation? Lizard point is the most southerly point, Lowerstoft is the most easterly point, and Dunnet Head is the most northerly point in mainland Britan.
But I cant work out where the most westerly point is?.
So BCF massive what is recognised as the most westerly point in MAINLAND Britan?
