Im going to try and attend the next one if only to annoy everyone :p

Working on the basis above, the centre is a location 7 km north west of Dunsop Bridge, Lancashire, by Whitendale Hanging Stones on Brennard Farm in the Forest of Bowland (SD 64188.3, 56541.43).


Bleedin southerners :rolleyes:

That's very nearly Norway:eek::eek:

But for gods sake stop harping on about it being central. Nothing like.................. Ordanance Survey

We calculate the centre of Great Britain using the gravitational method. In basic terms, the principle calculates the point at which the object would balance horizontally on the head of a theoretical pin – its centre of gravity. The gravitational method has been used as a scientific application by everyone from Captain Cook to NASA.

We take it as the mainland and the 401 associated islands shown at the 1: 625,000 scale of mapping. This works for us at Ordnance Survey as it reflects the full extent of our geographical remit. We made the calculation by linking our 1: 625,000 database with a computer programme based on the gravitational method

But is that the gravitational position of LZ members?
It's probably not far off for places I've lived in the UK maybe a little bit further east and south but not much
 
Oh well, looks like us suvverners drew the short straw again! :rolleyes: :(

My post, ^^^^^^^^^^^^, was largely intended to be provocative/humorous. But I do wonder what is the point of posting a thread asking where?, when it is clearly already decided? :confused:

Pah... it is in the South.

Try driving down from Northumberland, or worse, Scotland.
