Was just speculating what Ben Nevis at a mere 1340m height might offer

Considering the parking lot is around 200m, carrying the clocks and  power to
the top might be moving from a moderate walk to the strenuous  category. One
might also want to do this in summertime, so you've got a  few months to plan
the expedition.

I wonder what the highest road in the UK is?

There is a tourist train to the top of Ben Nevis.

No, there's no route to the top of Ben Nevis other than a clamber on a
rocky path - I did it once in years gone by.  You'd have to be young and
Special Forces trained or similar to get a 5071 with power up there!

You may be thinking of Mt Snowdon in Wales, that has a rail route to the
top.

Tom, ah I see, so your delta H is much smaller than I'd assumed.
Coincidently the same as the height of Ben Nevis ASL - for which I
calculated ~20ns
