If there's anyone living or staying in the Poole this Christmas you're in for a treat and please could you check something out for me?

In Poole, as I'm sure many of you know, grid north and true north always align there (and obviously other northerly places on that line of 2 degrees west of the meridian) but for the first time in history (not sure how they know that) magnetic north will as well, so all three norths will all align!

If anyone has a compass and map could they check this out for me?

Thanks in advance.

    I saw this article on local Dorset BBC news in November as it was in Langton Matravers then moved on to Bournemouth and then Poole then next year Hebden Bridge in August and going out to seas at Berwick upon Tweed in 2024, if we had been still living in Somerset we would have gone down to Dorset just to check to see how it works.
