Found this on the 100 climbs south east. Glad I did it, but not all that fun… it’s like a training session, you can see the whole climb ahead of you and you see it get steeper and steeper… pretty exposed to the wind and a fair bit of traffic here.

Unlike hill road from Watlington that starts tough and gets easier, Britwell hill starts easy and gets tough. The final 100m are deceptively tough. Not a busy road though so can take all the time you need. If you’re heading towards Reading/Henley, don’t miss this climb. View from the top is splendid

Once bitten twice shy with this one. Save some matches on the approach. It might only be small, but this climb bites.

Being almost completely straight, the summit is visible from the bottom. Piece of cake right? Its just there!
Think again. With gradients in the double digits, this is something of a leg sapping wall.
