Planning tools
Three small tools for the evening before: how long it will take, where a grid reference is, and how much daylight you'll have.
How long will it take?
Naismith's rule: an hour for every 5 km, plus an hour for every 600 m climbed.
- Walking time
- 4 h 6 min
- With short breaks
- 4 h 47 min
Allow about ten minutes' rest an hour, and longer in snow, wind, poor visibility or with a group. Each walk's page has a planner that checks this against sunset.
Grid reference converter
Type an OS grid reference (NN 166 712) or a latitude and longitude (56.7969, -5.0037).

Covers Great Britain's National Grid, to within about 5 m. Northern Ireland uses the Irish Grid, which this doesn't convert.
