    One of my favourite climbs in the area. Steady gradient heading up to Cressbrook with a stunning switchback ¾ of the way up. Make sure to stop for a photo! 📸

      If you don’t like the idea of a 20% climb then this longer way is for you

        Fast descent on a fairly wide road. Can be walkers however there is enough room to pass them without having to slow down too much. Also get ready for the Monsal Head ascent which is a good challenge.
