Lovely climb in beautiful area. You have to stop to open a couple of gates which is an annoying rhythm breaker. Still a brilliant climb though…and no traffic.

Like many climbs in this area, the scenery is beautiful. This climb didn't feel very steep either and was very even. The real challenge was in the hugely bad tarmac. All in all, quiet and beautiful, but not really ideal.

Zoals veel klimmetjes in deze omgeving is het landschap prachtig. Deze klim voelde ook niet erg steil en was erg gelijkmatig. De echte uitdaging zat in het enorm slechte asfalt. Al met al wel rustig en mooi, maar niet echt ideaal.
