Why are they always over the top with depths of places. 'Half a mile underground' You'd probably be underwater in Rhosydd at the depth.

It always nice when you recognise places though.

Reading "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" as a kid, I felt let down for that same reason.

I always read it that way, I associate the word underground with depth. It's a good figure to keep the 'normals' interested.

But after some very quick maths half a mine would seem about right to the bottom of the incline.

Joking aside, the book will be well worth having.
I am hoping to get a signed copy, if you are reading this Ioan.
