feels a lot longer than it actually is, probably because the gradient doesn't really let up as soon as you get past the speed camera.
To start with from the roundabout it's tough but feels tougher because it's quite hemmed in because of parked cars. Once through the speed camera - where it flattens slightly - it then ramps up and stay at over 10％ until he roundabout at the top.
It's a main thoroughfare to the other valley (and to Penrhys at the top) but thankfully, it's quite a wide road so any cars can give you a wide berth.
Great views across the valley
