The Gods of Mount Olympus

One website gives my location as 68m, then another one gives the local train station, which is at least 10m below me, as 79m.

My mum was born in a croft on the west coast of Scotland. It is at 7 m above sea level and 300 m inland. She told me that there was a storm with a surge tide when she was a child and she remembered looking out of the window of her bedroom and seeing the sea a few metres*** from the building!


*** She said yards, but it is time to move on to sensible units!

43 meters but we are fairly near the coast.

"roughly 10.88 metres above sea level. with the highest point being 11.80 and the lowest point being 10.30. A change of 1.50 metres"

I live nearly 300 metres below sea level, under a volcano in the Pacific Ocean.

Handy as anything for organising world domination, but a little awkward if I fancy a quick pootle down the back lanes.

'Great Harwood is situated at 53.78° North latitude, 2.42° West longitude and 119 meters elevation above the sea level'.

269 ft just a couple of miles up the road it elevates to nearly 800ft.

'Great Harwood is situated at 53.78° North latitude, 2.42° West longitude and 119 meters elevation above the sea level'.

Blimey, a degree further North than me here in Poshshire, but the same elevatikn tomwithin 2 metres.

 

[greenmark]

My bed is at 122m. Ground floor is at 15m.

 

[cisamcgu]

Altitude: 11 m (36 ft)

No chance of flooding though, unless there is flippin' huge tide. Very sandy soil so good for drainage

You're clearly forgetting the Great Merseyside Sand flood of '49

 

[DCBassman]

400 feet here in central Tavistock. Considerably more if you move in almost any direction!

 

[captain nemo1701]

Well, according to GE & other sites, I'm about 300ft above sea level, which is about the height of a saturn 5 rocket.

 

[byegad]

We're at 136m and if we don't get a handle on global warming it will soon be called Sea View.

I'm between the 40 and 50 metre contour lines. That puts me at the beach when all the ice has melted. I've already got the exclusive ice cream franchise.
