And in particular the Blair Atholl range? 287620,76882 Postcode PH18 5SG.

 

 

I used a google earth program last night but it gave incorrect measurements. I live in a valley and it gave my house to be 243 ft above sea level, I then used it on the hill above my house and it gave me the figure of 230 ft !!!!

As an alternative to oxygen?

 

 

 

Just to be nerdy for a moment:

 

Altitude is completely unimportant. Air pressure is what matters.

 

If you have a barometer, just set it to zero alt; and it will give you station pressure.

 

Then, if you're using a PDA or somesuch, also set the alt as zero - and just enter the pressure displayed on your barometer.

 

 

Use station pressure and you need never give altitude another thought :)
