Rode it at about 7.00am so it was very quiet, just one person walking up it. No cars or fsrm traffic. Not sure I would have made the red section in the wet as I imagine it would be pretty slippy if you got out of the saddle. Worth a detour to do, and a good lung stretcher!... read more

Local hill for me, done about 15 times. The route to same summit from north was dubbed 'Hell Squared' by a cycling buddy. This one is possibly harder though on account of the very steep bit near the top (beginning with very poor bit of surface by the farm), so I call it Hell Cubed! One to avoid in the wet/winter due to farm mud. Also, more traffic than you'd think for such a narrow lane, due to the walker's car park on top. Views only briefly, near hill fort parking after the steep bit.
