The Paddy Buckley Round

When to start

The Paddy Buckley round is slightly less stringent than the BGR when it comes to how to attempt the round. You may start at any point and proceed in either direction. In practice “any point” means the road crossings and there are five of these.

The following form allows you to calculate the best start time for your intended round. Simply choose the appropriate values and click on the button. A new window containing a table is then generated showing which tops you will be visiting in the dark; at dusk; and in morning light. Times are adjusted for BST, where necessary. No allowance is made for poor weather or bright moonlight so there may be 30 minutes either way of both these times. 45 minutes has been allowed for twilight either side of sunrise and sunset. You will need JavaScript enabled in your browser and to allow new windows (pop-ups) to be created for this form to work.

Note that currently only clockwise rounds are calculated.

The generated form may be used to record the details of your round.
