Stokenchurch is visible, on a 'good' day (and haven't we had a lot of those recently !) from more than 20 miles away. My old eyes have seen it, while out on exercise walks, from the prehistoric 'Old Street' track between Farnborough (Berks) and West Ilsley, close to OS ref SU 448 822 in the last few weeks. You do have to know which dip on the Chilterns horizon to stare into, but if you do then it appears there as a short needle.

Cheers,
