Second fun fact: the Gog Magog hills outside Cambridge are the highest point between there and some insane distance to the NE.
How can this be, you ask incredulously? It's almost entirely open water between those two locations, other than incredibly flat land as you cross eastern England and ditto before reaching wherever the next spot that is above 300'.

- fanf2 3y agoIf you head northeast from the Gog Magog hills you will stay over land. The longest you can go in that direction without exceeding 75m elevation is I think about 200km, going just to the east of Peterborough and Lincoln, over the Humber to a liitle place north of Market Weighton called Londesborough, roughly halfway between York and Hull. East of Lincoln there's a long valley that's very nicely aligned so that our line can slip between the Lincoln Edge and the Lincolnshire wolds.
