This afternoon I could see the Purbeck hills in Dorset, from
Lee-on-the Solent. That's 37 - 38 miles looking straight down the
western Solent and is something i haven't often seen.

BTW I've seen the Purbecks from Bow Hill, above Chichester, before so
I guess that's about the limit.

You'd have been looking _precisely_ over my head in Lee, and on down
the Western Solent like me. So that's about 55 miles line of sight,
excellent. From where I was, down on the beach, there is nothing
further to be seen; it's nice to be on the limit occasionally.
