    Tips

    April 13, 2025

    Climbing The Blorenge from Llanfoist via 'The Tumble' is an iconic Welsh ascent, famed for its brutal lower slopes and spectacular views. Brace yourself for an immediate, intense battle as the road ramps up steeply through wooded hairpin bends, averaging a demanding 8-9% but hitting savage gradients well over 15%, spiking above 20% on the initial 'Tumble' section – very low gearing is essential. Experience the dramatic transition as you emerge onto open, exposed moorland where the gradient eases significantly. The panoramic views over Abergavenny and the Usk Valley are your stunning reward for conquering this Tour of Britain favourite.
