The midpoint appears to be the airfield at Jurby West in the NW of the Isle of Man.

It depends how accurate you wish to be but this point is approximately 6 miles WNW from Ramsey.

Notwithstanding kempies answer, I reckon that it is just North of the coast of Rue Point on the Isle if Man (somewhere in the Irish Sea).
Perhaps I should have qualified my answer by stating that the place I indicate as the halfway point is confirmed by using both Google Earth and the OS 1:250 000 GB Road Map.
That is soooo yesterday, I used a map and a ruler
