Of the three climbs to Wigginton, Hemp Lane is the least steep. It's also the longest and has the most ascent, but it's still the easiest way up. After crossing over the A41 the road goes into a hollow way with overhanging trees, until you reach the first of the houses. It's on the narrow side, and there are enough bends to make it difficult to see when cars are coming the other way, but that doesn't happen very often.

Of the three climbs to Wigginton, Hemp Lane is the least steep. It's also the longest and has the most ascent, but it's still the easiest way up. After crossing over the A41 the road goes into a hollow way with overhanging trees, until you reach the first of the houses. It's on the narrow side, and there are enough bends to make it difficult to see when cars are coming the other way, but that doesn't happen very often. The gradient is reasonably easy, for a Chilterns climb, and would only be noticeable when going hard. However, it's pleasant enough and would be a recommended detour if you're not keen on the gradients of Oddy Hill or The Twist.
