and yeah Cornwall sticks out further than Wales, but not further than Scotland. Sorry, nerb....
I think given our love of the internal combustion engine, it's fair enough to say that only places reachable by car can count as the "most furthest flung". Thus it's the lookout at Cape Byron, not those pissy little rocky things that are most easterly. Mal and Mike Leyland never got their LandRover onto those rocks.

Well you learn something every day. This place is a fount. I spend nearly a year working here in Kilchoan on the Ardnamurchan Peninsula and no one there ever told me it was the most westerly point in the country.
Damn, so do you mean it was a wasted effort when I walked out to the rocks at Cape York? If I knew that theory I could just have stayed on the road.
Not only a country, but the whole of Magna Brittania.
So that's you, me, spen and botr who have learned things today, and all in one thread.
Yes, Kate - don't get caught again being fooled into getting out of the car. Anything worth seeing can be seen thru a window (and if it's hot leave it rolled up and the aircon on)
LOL - must tell ryb jnr BEFORE the John Howard School Exam become mandatory....(insider coaching)
