This is a long steady climb up to Edge and is on quite a busy road, even early in the morning as vans speed off to work. The road is wide enough for them to be able to give plenty of room, but it's a good idea to hug the edge of the road and to have lights on at anytime of the day. The climb itself is a nice steady spin to the top. Nothing too taxing and leads on to other wonderful climbs in and around Slad and the Stroud Valleys.... read more
