At 9.21am today, my left foot was in the Western hemisphere and my right foot was in the Eastern hemisphere.Traditionally, people do this at Greenwich, but there are lots of other places in England you can do it too.
I was officially at (roughly) 53° 22' 3.00"N, (exactly) 0° 0' 0.00", which is Eastgate in Louth between a fish and chip shop and a drycleaners.
Apparently neither my GPS nor Google Earth would have said that's where I was, but as it's only a few metres off, I'm not going to quibble.

...cool! What talented feet you have to stretch so far!
ReplyDeleteBut seriously...where is Louth? It sounds like a nasty cough!
If you're asking where is it geographically, then it's at 53° 22' 3.00"N, 0° 0' 0.00". Were you not paying attention?
ReplyDeleteIf you're asking in a more philosophical sense, doubting its importance as a centre of all that is "happening" and "de nos jours", then as a mere itinerant, I shouldn't comment. Perhaps you should ask someone who lives there?
