Website Of The Week (7)

Here’s a 21st century first world problem if there ever was one, the stress of trying to find a pub garden or picnic site that is either in the shade or the sun, depending upon your preference. Worry not any longer as Sunseekr is the very tool that you have been longing for.

All you have to do is select a time and a place and the website will tell you whether that spot will be in the sun or the shade. You can also get it to highlight pubs, cafes or restaurants in the surrounding area and to show whether they’re sunny or shady.

Of course, in Britain with just 130 days of sunshine, more in the south of England than the north and Scotland, and with variable cloud cover, it might not be quite as useful as it seems at first blush. Nevertheless, forewarned is forearmed.
