One of the best climbs in the South West. Good road surface, nice rhythm to the gradients, one of the longest about and very quiet on traffic. Gorgeous rolling roads at the top also. Save your energy for the final stretch as it's the steepest part.

Such a fun descent, wide roads, some rough surface.
