I was quite surprised by two of my answers. A lot of countries aren't where I thought they were in relation to each other.

West: Ardnamurchan Point

I took my wife there, before we were married. We were in a hotel the night before the wedding and there was a truck show nearby; I got talking to a bloke and asked where he was from,

"Strontian, you'll never have heard of it..."

He was surprised that I had not only heard of it, been there and knew that Strontium is named for it. He called his friends over and they bought us a bottle of champagne!

Anyway....

North: Johan Castberg oil / gas field, 250 kilometres Northwest of Hammerfest.
East: Darwin, Australia.
South: Perth, Australia.
West: Cape Mendocino, California.

But that's the same as any point on the earth? Anywhere is the furthest east or west from somewhere on that basis? We're all in agreement on what's the most north or south so surely the dateline qualifies as the east/west delineation.

True, I concede!
