Welcome Steve.
So does that mean you are unable to enter this week's competition? it's about storms, you should be well placed to capture some bad boys out there

'tis true! We were always taught that we (Aylesbury) were the furthest point from the coast at school - unless coastal Britain is collapsing into the sea at an alarming rate I reckon Derby has a fight on its hands...

But the OS are using skewed data - they admit they're only a mere 45 miles from tidal water (they're virtually coastal!) so Aylesbury can beat that by a clear 10 miles or so. We win!!!

That's more than 45 miles from here I'm sure but I'll check my map after lunch - all our old school teachers wouldn't have lied to us...
