How High is your garden?
Re: How High is your garden?
I'm quite low too at 12.77 metres.
Quite difficult to breath at this altitude and I find if I go upstairs I've doubled my altitude
Head in the clouds and sea lapping at my toes

Re: How High is your garden?
This altitude is quite important, as the wreck of USS Montgomery with 1,400 tons of unstable high explosive, is sitting on the Thames riverbed just off Sheerness, 15 miles away. If it went off, the tsunami would be about 10m high, so wouldn't quite water my garden, but people over the road would get wet feetDave Brown wrote:15.431 m / 50.628 feet

Re: How High is your garden?
Sorry if i sound really thick here but how can you tell exactly how high your garden is? Is there some kind of mapping done showing the heights? I have heard of being above sea level but even a whole town wont be exactly the same height due to hills or slopes etc. Interesting to know how you find the exact height out.

Looks like you've got the highest?
Looks that way, it's not a competition I want to win but the various replies make interesting reading.
At least I'm not in a frost pocket
Aaron - if you zoom in on the map in the link and on Kris's first post and click on your location, a little red pointer appears where you've clicked. The height at this point appears at the bottom of the map. I hope this is what you were asking about.

Just stick your postcode in on the link, zoom in and there you have it!
Re: How High is your garden?
Just tried the postcode method, it works fine but I've just gone up another metre. I could do with coming down a bit really.

Mick, has anyone ever told you you had your head in the clouds?Mick C wrote:201m
It seems that I am a mere 61.136m up (or 200.578 feet in english money) what that means I know not. I suppose in a catastrophic flood I would drown before you, unless you can't swim or I had a boat or... crikey! I already couldn't sleep now look what you lot have done!
Re: How High is your garden?
Yes Cathy, they have You should be ok with a bit of a rise in sea level, one or two others maybe ought to be considering a more aquatic style of gardening.Cathy wrote:Mick, has anyone ever told you you had your head in the clouds?Mick C wrote:201m
