The Ground
Route in Relief
Terrain from USGS 3DEP at 10 m, drawn at 2x vertical scale with contours every 40 ft, seen from the south-southeast. Lit from where the sun stood at 8:22 AM, when the walk reached its highest point: bearing 80°, 21° above the horizon. The green line is the recording draped on the terrain, dotted where the ground hides it (15 percent of the track from this angle). Drawn when the entry was made; nothing runs in the browser.
At Sunrise
Conditions at Sunrise
Cloud cover here is the low and middle layers together, the cloud that hides the sun. High cloud is what a sunrise lights up, so it is counted on its own. Open-Meteo archive (ERA5 and IFS analysis), 7:00 AM.
