So what’s the answer 
Magnetic North Pole or some trick question?

Milton Keynes.
Well there’s more than one answer…
Ttowel very sensibly would not be baited though

from memory… there’s the North Pole like Jeff said
and then a sneaky answer which involves starting just over a mile North of the South pole, then travelling a mile south to the exact spot where a “mile west” will be a complete circumnavigation, and then the mile north takes you back to the start again.
And its even worse than that because you could start a bit nearer the South Pole so that your “mile west” took you round the pole twice, or three times, or any integer number of times. So basically an infinite series of latitudes which can be defined mathematically, trending to 1 mile from the South Pole
Probably was quite sensible to keep the conversation focussed on Kona

Wasn’t Ttowel in that program “Britain’s Hardest” in the early 2000s, presented by one of the Mitchell brothers from EastEnders?
I seem to recall him telling us how he made it to the final, but the final task was to have a fist fight with the other finalist. Unfortunately the other finalist was a MMA fighter, so it didn’t end well

Maybe they should have had it at the end of a 30 mile hill run

Can’t quite remember. Was it Garytri or something similar? Or am I thinking of someone else?
GaryTri whatever happened to him @Mungo2 I hear you and Mark are best buddies now.
He was a screw also, Durham iirc.
Never met him

I started lurking on here, well TT1.0 around 2006 and remember it all kicked off about swimming. One T.I. advocate became quite unpleasant iirc.
I vaguely remember that. TI back then was the ‘plant based’ now, very evangelical.
I joined on Xmas Day 2005. Back the Xmas Day was pretty quiet for us in Oz. Surfing in the morning, cold lunch together etc. I think i joined because I’d wanted to enter IMUK but couldn’t get the leave from work in the end.
