Approximate times in UK local time, for an open horizon. Moon-up periods are rounded to five minutes. Hills and cloud can hide the Moon. Illumination is the sunlit percentage of its disc, not how bright your route will be. Darker hours here begin after civil twilight. This almanac covers only the stated overnight window and does not change the weather grade. Take a headtorch and spare power regardless.
Planning the Yorkshire Three Peaks
The Yorkshire Three Peaks is a 24-mile circular challenge over Pen-y-ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough. All three are close together, but their exposed tops and different shapes can still produce noticeably different wind and cloud conditions.
The challenge grade gives extra weight to the weakest of the three summit forecasts. Use the individual rows to see which hill is limiting the day and whether the forecast changes enough to favour another date.
