How early does it get light in north wales?

geekman · 15 Aug 2013 at 20:58

Slightly random question I know, but I'm currently staying in north wales and planning on having an early morning blast in the car (I'm only 10 minutes drive from the evo triangle!)

Not planning on going crazy, but I'd like to have a clear run with no traffic so I'm planning on getting up very early. However, I don't want to set my alarm for say 5am and wake up to complete darkness

So, anyone got any idea on the kind of time I should be aiming to get going?

probably about 5:30 - 6am

If only there was a way of checking sunrise and sunset using a computer and a search engine.

Maybe one day this dream will come true. Today is not this day.

Go crazy. You in the Jag or the Volvo?

Jag, couldn't face such a long drive in the Volvo and it's up for sale at the moment so didn't want to tempt fate

I did actually check online when I went on a drive down to Dungeness with some mates and it proved totally wrong, so I thought I'd be better off asking people who might have experience of it

I'll try remember to post here how light it is at 6:22 tomorrow morning to be extremely helpful. I don't think there is much light.

Put in a location on the Met office website and it will give you Sunrise and Sunset times.

Don't you get constant blackouts down there with all the manky chavs using sunbeds?

Around 6 am it starts getting light and the EVO triangle isn't as epic as people think.

It's well sighted, twisty with a few good straights and has a decent surface, what more could you ask for? Not expecting a trackday experience but I reckon it's pretty much as good as you'll get on a British road
