What is the MN centroid?

Bear with me....

I was thinking about posting in Camping Topic re a mn summer camping meet up (shush now you canvas mockers), and I thought

'oh well it should be somewhere central'
(which in my head is Leics or thereabouts, maybe Rutland)

but then I thought

'Oh no the Scottish Campers'
(so up a bit, probably Lancs)

and then the Welsh
left a bit...Lake District. v nice)

and then The N Irish, to tick off the UK
(Isle of Mann)

and then

I started thinking about Kerry Mum
(camping in Irish Sea...no)
and
Califrau
(atlantic Ocean)
and MrsJC
(magma)

(apologies to well know oversea mners that I have missed out).

So then I Wikipedia-ed, which made me realise that my UK geography is pretty spot on really.

But left me no closer to the original question.

So do we know, where is our mn distributions most central point?

lol Cali. Did you think you had been 'chosen'? Somrwhere in mission control a noisy printer had gone off, and a drone in a white coat had torn it off and handed it the the conrtoller who had pressed the doohickey button and then typed in 'Califrau'.

The chosen one also gets a parcel of green and blacks in the post

what's a spanks

The pacific ocean thing is troubling. Rutland water was going to be a much more accessible destination.

surely mn towers have a vague idea.

I like to imagine they have a mission control room, with a giant map of the world plasma screen doohickey. Everytime you log in, a little light shows up on the map.

At morning rounds Justine would say
"and yesterdays centroid was Basingstoke"

and all the others would make a note on their clip boards.
