Long, straight and gets steeper as you near the end. There are tougher climbs in the area but a rewarding effor

Nice steady start with a tough final third which, because the road is straight, seems to rise up in front of you making it psychologically tougher than it perhaps is. Lovely freewheel itno Brasted on the descent.

Yes a great climb with very little traffic. Great views from Puddlecock Lane on the way down. It’s a turning on the right with a clock tower.
