I cycled down this side. As the ring road around Great Olme contains many blind bends, locals advise against cycling the route tegrn the traffic, as motorists (basically only paying holiday traffic) basically do not expect oncoming traffic. Keep this in mind!... read more

Ik ben deze zijde afgefietst. Omdat de rondweg rondom Great Olme veel blinde bochten bevat, ontraadt de lokale bevolking om de route tegrn het verkeer in te fietsen, omdat automobilisten (in principe alleen betalend vakantieverkeer) in principe geen tegenliggers verwachten. Hou hier rekening mee!

Wonderful climb to ride. You start this side of the climb on the quiet side of the village of Llandudno. Cars meet you and are not behind you because of one-way traffic. As you climb, the views to your left and behind you get more and more beautiful. When you are almost at the top, you can turn right to go all the way to the top. The road is worse here.

Prachtige beklimming om te rijden. Je begint deze zijde van de beklimming aan de rustige kant van het dorp Llandudno. Autos komen je tegemoet en zitten niet achter je ivm met eenrichtingsverkeer. Al klimmende worden de uitzichten aan je linkerzijde en achter je alsmaar mooier. Als je bijna boven bent kan je nog even rechtsaf slaan om helemaal naar de top te gaan. De weg is hier wel slechter.
