The MoD will be conducting a GPS jamming exercise off South Shields - on the English NE coast - from 30 November to 4 December.

Jamming will occur for one or two one-hour slots each day between 1000 and 1600 GMT.

The area affected will be within a pentagon formed from the following coordinates off the coast from South Shields:
55.150°N 1.142°W; 55.000°N 1.008°W; 54.967°N 1.167°W; 55.017°N 1.217°W; 55.133°N 1.217° W.

It's from this thread on pg forum...

They've probably picked South Shields because they can't endanger any life forms
