You have waited 13 years to go and look so you can reply to the op….and it’s too mistyI did go to the top of Wilson Avenue to take a look through the binos tonight. Too misty. Is that the place to see it ?
It has been on the task list for some timeYou have waited 13 years to go and look so you can reply to the op….and it’s too misty![]()
Yes, you can see it for up to 90 days in a 180 day period.I’ve seen France from the racecourse on a really really clear day

Big win was it?I’ve seen France from the racecourse on a really really clear day
After we left the EU the horizon was rebalanced in our favour.Interesting.
I’d wrongly thought that the curvature of the earth prevented us seeing the cliffs at Fecamp 80 miles away.

Thing is......the nation isn't ready for it. Even staunch remainers are mostly resigned to the status quo. We may be able to swing some reasonable deals that soften the agony that is to come (and it has barely started yet - border in the Irish Sea, anyone?) but full blown rapprochement?
Plus.....if I were 'the EU' I'd be pretty cross with the UK. If they let us back in, even just a bit, all those hard won concessions (won by Thatcher mostly!) would be a pipe dream....
I stand corrected.multiply your height in metres above the ground by 13, and take the square root of that. This is the distance to the horizon, in kilometres. That's 4.8km for a person of average height standing at sea level and looking out to sea
So, from the race course....altitude is 400 feet. That's about 122 metres.
So the horizon is 40 KM away......

Highest point is 200 meters.
So the horizon is 50 miles. Nope, it can't be the IOW. A mirage perhaps. Or clouds.
At 200 metres the limit is 50 miles so the isle of Wight sight must be a trick of the light. I can see France from the land above St Margaret's bay. Just. And it is cliffs on the other side.That photo was with a telephoto, but you can clearly see the downland of NE Isle of Wight from the Falmer Road in great light. The topography of hills, beyond the flatness of Selsey.
Fecamp is 80 miles from Brighton’s high points. Is that visible?
You were a very precocious and observant new born, weren't you.Could see it from maternity ward at the Royal Sussex Hosp 27years ago...
Especially at night...
Not sure what floor though
Interesting.
