Hi Phil Layton,

Dave.

Hi everyone,
I wonder if you can help me... I know this is probably written down somewhere, but I'm getting old, and get bogged down by too much detail. I just want to add ALMONDSBURY, UK, to my plotted synoptic reports and I'm not sure how to go about it. I know the co-ordinates viz 51.551, -2.558 ...
