OK... let's see. I reckon eyelevel was about 12 feet, say above sea level... 3 x12 / 2 = 18. The square root of that's about 4 and a bit miles (doing this in my head... just thought I'd mention that if you feel like challenging my precision!
). So, say, about 7-8 ks?...
Hang on a minute... this seems too close to my original estimate! I'm gonna have to work it out now with a calculator...
7.6 ks roughly!
Cool! Thanks John!
