Hmm. �That's well over 250 feet.

What's well over 250 ft?

One was 218 feet and the oter was 209 IIRC

�Methinks 20 miles is a trifle of
an exaggeration ....

Nope. They were on high ground beside the Thames Basin in North London,
and they poked up like - well, I've heard them referred to as -
'rabbit's ears' and 'two fingers'.

By-the-bye, while we were working on them we were being observed by a
buzzard, for a while.
