Feel free to check, I measure 55 miles from Chetwynd Barracks to the nearest coast (The Wash) on Google Maps

- If this change isn't considered worthwhile, then ALT1 is GTG as it is (short enough, interesting-ish, cited, etc). Guliolopez (talk) 19:54, 7 June 2021 (UTC)
- Hi Guliolopez, thanks for your review. Happy to go with your ALT, if it's preferred - Dumelow (talk) 05:44, 8 June 2021 (UTC)
- Hi Dumelow. Grand so. If you want to add an "ALT2" above with the proposed text (so it is clear to the promoter what is being proposed), then I'll update my comment to refer to that ALT2, and change my recommendation to 'full green'. Cheers. Guliolopez (talk) 09:40, 8 June 2021 (UTC)

- (Great) ALT2 is good-to-go in my view. Article meets all requirements (date/length/NPOV/CLOP/VER/etc), ALT2 hook is as expected (format/interest/accuracy/VER/etc), and other criteria are met (QPQ/etc). In my opinion, ALT2 is OK to promote to next step. Guliolopez (talk) 16:42, 9 June 2021 (UTC)
