55m of gradient. A steady climb from the Royston Road junction at Clanver End before it kicks a bit after the right-left bend for the last 15m of gain. Going down, there are great panoramic views as you exit Arkesden just before the road drops and you can quickly pick up plenty of speed.

I've always found this to be a more fun descent than a climb. After descending, at the bottom you can turn left to go to Great Chishill (highest point in Cambridgeshire) or turn right and visit Saffron Walden and link up with the 2014 TdF route.
