George. Good to hear from you. I notice you display your height above sea
level. where Can I find out the ASL height for Basildon?
Regards. Len.

If you go to the Ordnance Survey website http://www.ordsvy.gov.uk/ and then
look for the 'Free and Fun' section on the RHS that will enable you to find
a map of your area at 1:25000 with a 5 metre contour interval. (Beware that
some of the other mapping programmes simply enlarge the 1:50000 map which
has a 10metre contour interval). Once you have located your abode on the map
you can work out the height asl by interpolation of the contours and spot
heights.

All the best
