Pretty unrelenting climb when ridden into Hinton Blewett (ie West to East), one of the toughest I’ve found in the area and that’s saying quite a bit.

Road surface is quite poor and tends to be quite muddy/leafy/green according to weather and season meaning a) it doesn’t make for a fun descent and b) that push to get out the saddle might not be worth the effort since the back wheel is not unlikely to slip.

Some of us see the above as fun, so thought it’d be worth flagging up!
