How this is worked out

The sun's bearing and height come from the date, the time and the quarry's position, 54.31° N 2.24° W. A wall is in the sun when the sun is within 85° of the way the wall faces and higher than the quarry rim opposite it. Times are rounded to five minutes and can be ten minutes out. Cloud is not included.
