How well do you know the UK. (map)

[DulwichFox]

I like maps and the weather and have been following the Live Lightning / Thunderstorms across Europe and the U.K.

I was suprised to notice for the first time that Great Yarmouth was further north than Coventy and Birmingham.

and Aberdeen being further north than Coppenhagen and level with Nothern Denmark.

Thats amazing..

Finding out Edinburgh was slightly west of Cardiff surprised me.

[Lowlander]

Shetland is as far north as Anchorage, Alaska.

And 300 miles from Iceland and around 200 from Norway.

But 800 miles from East Dulwich.

Edinburgh is also further west of Carlisle.

California is near Yarmouth

[goosey-goosey]

And Pennsylvania is near Bath.

I too share Foxy's maps and the weather. Isn't geography great!

Very nice, DF. Currently watching lightening over Turin. May have something to do with Italy vs. Belgium. :-)
