Hot on the hilly heels of the 6km swooping descent from Abney and a sharp right takes you up the staggered climb of Leam Lane. A tiny but beautiful lane, if your lungs and legs let you have a look at the lovely house on one hairpin then the views over Hathersage and Hope Valley on the next ramp and through the woods it flattens off and even a descent before facing Sir William Hill next (right at the junction). Even stags in the autumnal views through the woods today.

A steep climb that snakes it's way up the hillside, challenging in parts but with some flattish sections to recover on. Fantastic views over towards Hathersage and all along a very quiet road, it joins up with the top of the climb of Sir William Hill from Grindelford so you can either keep on going or enjoying sailing down into Grindelford.
