IF you have google earth you can use your mouse pointer
to hover over the spot where it is you watch from
then post them here
ie
Lattitude 51°29'57.34"N
Longitude 0° 7'39.01"W
Westminster Abbey

OK then Cadair East is the normal Spot -

Lat 52° 42'13.14"N
Long 3° 50'39.37"W

Elev 453M

The other is the Bwlch and this is a guess at the height and exact position but better than nothing.

Lat 52° 44'06.30"N
Long 3° 46'30.10"W

Elev 494

At both points they are coming from right to left. That any good Ben?

On shot 4 and 5 I can see where I sit perfectly and that is amazing. You are following the road there. I can even tell where you are on the first few.

Bit high on #4, kind of the F15 route ;) But 5 is perfect.

Joe, I can just see the sea, more or less the same as in the screenie!
