I have been up this 10 times, and the first 75％ of it a further 30 times (at other summit options). Safe to say I know this hill! It is a well-surfaced wide B road with only light traffic. A robust start immediately after the pub near motorway bridge, past stables and into a hamlet where things flatten for a while then dips a tad.

I have been up this 10 times, and the first 75％ of it a further 30 times (at other summit options). Safe to say I know this hill! It is a well-surfaced wide B road with only light traffic. A robust start immediately after the pub near motorway bridge, past stables and into a hamlet where things flatten for a while then dips a tad. Next comes a long steepish part, with eventually matches the starting gradient. Another flat section in the woods beneath Painswick Beacon hill fort precedes another rise to road summit. Nice Cotswold views to the right from here. Going back down, this is one of the fastest descents in the area. I once got 48 mph on the last section down, pretty terrifying.
