A very long climb with a long, gentle beginning for approximately 500 metres. Try and attempt this climb on a clear day as the scenery is very picturesque and rural. After the gentle gradient it’s time for hard work. The gradient increases harshly so make sure you bring your climbing gears and stamina with you! The road bends right but the climb is still going - so you might want to get out of your seat for this bit. Then you pop out at the summit, next to the church well and truly out of breath. Massive kudos to all those that attempt this one. Well done!
