    130 metres for me… But I think I’d be inconvenienced by the fleeing hordes before that point.

    Cool toy that, cheers!

    4m and its wet feet for me. This is actually surprising because I’m pretty much sea level(maybe 4 or 5 feet above) and about 10 metres from the sea.

    Yeah, nickc is safe. Not that he’ll have any signal to let anyone know.

    26m would see the house under water, or at least lapping the steps. Most of the good riding would still be available though – if only could get to it… :!

    11m would see the people on the bottom floor in trouble but I’d need a few more metres before my feet got wet..

    Good new Glyncorrg is 217 meters above sea level, bad news is you will need a boat to get to the trailhead 😯

    Sea is 50m away but about 20m lower than the house. We are on an old raised beach though!

    157 metres so most of England would be underwater. This is what I keep telling the at work when they say ‘what would you do if the water reaches your door step’

    30 metres in Ballaugh and 375 metres in Platsa – I know where I’ll be anyway.

    We are protected by a man made shigle bank but that gets breached on stormy night with a spring tide and asscoiated low pressure overhead .

    195m. By the time the flood waters made it to my front door, I think the end of the world would have been officially declared quite some time ago, and I’ll be sat awaiting the arrival of an ark.

    It’d be worse than a crap Kevin Costner film.

    The pubs only about ten metres further down though, so I’d be reet for a while 🙂

    FWIW, if all the snow and ice at the poles completely melted, the water level would only rise around 70 meters.

    At 134m I would be a tiny reef in Cheshire. Most of England has gone. Reckon Range Rover would have moved into speedboats by this time to serve their clientele.

    50m, and I’d be living on a little island a couple of miles offshore at that point. Thankfully whilst the school and village hall would have already gone, one decent pub would be left as well as the rubbish one. Though I have a double sea kayak, and a very nice pub at the nearest point on the mainland. The funny thing is, it has flooded up to about half a mile away and we have been cutoff from all other dry land in one direction fairly recently.

    Not sure why anybody is surprised at how much the sea would have to rise – I knew I lived at 50m ASL. More interesting is seeing the required level to separate bits of the country – 50m appears to be the crucial figure to generate the Isle of North Yorkshire.

    Well it’s a 8m sea level here on the gloriously low South coast resulting in my house becoming a beachfront property.

    Still, I’m half a mile from the sea and there’s a nice private housing estate between me and the sea which I reckon can be easily be bulldozed into a sea wall should the need arise…. 😉

    50 metres and it sure would improve the view as I’d end up as a chain of islands along the south coast.

    I have a wide sea view but its about a mile away so a bit closer would make it more appreciable 😉

    218m in the Peak District – does this mean I’ll have to take the MIL in as she is at 115m?

    Three metres vertically and 400 metres inland. But I’m not too concerned about it.

    95 metres gives me a much more attractive country to live in and a nice costal property on a peninsula south of the island of Harewood . 100 meters and I can tie my boat up where I currently park my car.

    Did this exercise at Uni in the early 80s but no one was bothered.
    Happily safe on the Peak District island at 1200ft
