A lovely little climb. Unusually for a small country lane the tarmac is good throughout. There is some trash (stones, twigs, leaves etc) along the centre line of the road at the bottom part of the climb but it's easily passed on either side. The climbing itself is very enjoyable - no unrelenting slog just a series of short steeper ramps punctuated by short sections at an easier gradient.

A lovely little climb. Unusually for a small country lane the tarmac is good throughout. There is some trash (stones, twigs, leaves etc) along the centre line of the road at the bottom part of the climb but it's easily passed on either side. The climbing itself is very enjoyable - no unrelenting slog just a series of short steeper ramps punctuated by short sections at an easier gradient. The steepest part of the climb is at a tight lefthand bend where the gradient briefly hits around 20％ but around the corner and you're straight into the much gentler final section of the climb and an easy finish.
