It has to be in degrees only, yours are:

 

53.170433,-1.173183

 

Converted using Geocalc, it's great for that sort of thing

tried putting in home 53.170433,-1.173183

says invalid longtitude degrees

PM sent, but for the benefit of searchers later, you need a comma after home:

 

#  locations
# Name, Latitude, Longitude, MaxDistance (optional)
#
# examples (valid if # is removed)
#Home, 32.7123, -101.2045, 50
#Some where else,  S32 25.921, E 115 46.050, 100
Home, 53.1234,  -1.56789
Whitley Bay, 55.046, -1.4521

My location is entered in WGS84 format and works fine:

N51 21.750, W 000 53.909 (copied that out of GSAK)

Actually, now I look, that's how the docs say to do it! Must've just been the comma missing then.

I use my postcode - seems to work just as well
