Hi,

Had to go to Leeds today to take a patient to the General Infirmary.
Never been there before. Lots of tall buildings and funny ring roads.
Further north than I though as well. Had a good view of Emley Moor tx
as well. Closest I've been. I was in awe & if I had more time I
would've gone & worshipped it :-). My job hardly ever takes me up
north so it was a nice change.

its glinting cross.

It's a good thing about my job, the fact that I get to travel all over at
someone else's expense. I couldn't stand working in the same building every
day. It would drive me mad.

There is a worshiping spot/layby on the road next to it for the
Transmitterites. Holme Moss mast is still there, and very impressive, if
you want to worship that as well.

If you mean the one in Berlin, good view and there is a rotating restaurant
which used to server reasonable food as the view of Berlin rotated around
you.

Actually, how far is Holme Moss from Emlley Moor? Is Holme Moss
visible from the M1? If so, I missed it :-(

Yes you have to register https://news.individual.net/register.php and pay
your 10 euro per year They will then send you a password. First read the
web site, because they are a bit pernickety.

It is on the A6024 between Holmfirth and Woodhead on the scenic route
south. about 20 km from Emley.

It is. Can be seen on a good day just south of Chesterfield.

BTW. Anorak fact of the day. The top of Emley Moor's mast is the same
height above sea level as the base of Holme Moss I think ?

Don't bother paying for that crap, go here http://news.datemas.de/ and
get a free account that's as good, if not better, than an individual.net
account.

Wolfbane gives Emley Moor (analogue) as 567m AOD and the base of Holme
Moss is probably on the 530m contour. So nearly FSVO near. The Channel
5 transmitter is a little lower at 549m and the road at 264m.

Don't be daft Marky. What he did was, he joined a lot of garden hosepipes
together, enogh to stretch all the way from Emley to Holme Moss. Then he
poured water in the end and compared the level. A long spirit level would be
completely impractical.

That's right Bill, originally I strapped the spirit level to my Peugeot
406's roof bars, but it's quite a sharp turn to get out of our road, so
I popped into B&Q and purchased some hosepipes (plenty available in the
store, because of the ban down here).
