The road up is not nice on some parts you almost bump off your bike... after the junction of the D278 & 378 the D378 narrow. Cars can just pass you if you keep strictly to the right! It is very quiet and not very inspiring... as soon as you get higher it gets better! Descending I have done via the D278 and I recommend it to others because the road surface is much better!
