Elevation[edit]

which end is the elevation figure from? 222.155.219.42 04:25, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A quick google search reveals the answer to this excellent question: The east portal end is at 945 m elevation; this is the highest end, the road runs 1270 m at approximately 1:10 gradient down to the western portal. Now all we need is some trigonemtry to figure out the altitude of the western portal and the mean altitude of teh entire tunnel ... Ppe42 03:28, 12 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

As an alternative to trigonometry, my GPS recorded the elevation at both ends... At the eastern end I recorded the elevation as 930m the first time, and 922m the second time. At the western end I recorded the elevation as 818m and 803m. Averaging the readings at each end, and assuming my GPS was reading low by around 20m, it seems that the eastern end should be around 830m. The GPS track is at http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/Andrew%20McMillan/traces/111571 for the curious. Ka ro ra 10:01, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Homer Tunnell does not pierce the main divide. It is a tunnell between the Cleddau and Hollyford Valleys both of which are west coast valleys. The Milford road goes over the main divide at a location called Key Summitt which is between the Hollyford and Eglinton Valley —Preceding unsigned comment added by 118.90.41.169 (talk) 18:35, 18 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
