I've just come across a weather website, which looks like it will deliver the goods.

http://www.accuweather.com/ukie/index.asp

Comes complete with mountain weather forecasts, including wind speed at ~3000ft for the Lakes, and North Pennines, and ~2500ft for the Cheviot.
Also sailing forecasts & tide tables which should be useful for coastal flying.

Northern Pennines for mid-day Saturday --- 14C, SSW winds @ 15mph gusting 23mph. cloudbase 6200ft, 25% chance of rain.
