Just got back from the far north mainland watching the surfinghttp://news..bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/scotland/highlands_and_islands/660...
Also managed to get to Shetland for a few days, and noticed a roadside
marker sign indicating you were at 60 deg north. *Set me wondering if
there were similar signs elsewhere in the UK?
I see that the Lizard is just below 50 north, and I'm sure there'll be
lots in East Anglia marking the meridian. *Or is Shetland unique?

Talking of surfing, a great video of surfing a 20' Cribbar at Newquay,
the UKs best reef break.
