Streatley Hill from Streatley is a short but savage climb, averaging 12% with ramps hitting 18%. The narrow residential road quickly heads up through trees, with smooth tarmac but little room to weave or recover. Hit it in your easiest gear from the start and stay seated to maintain traction on the steepest pitches. It’s over in less than half a kilometre, but every metre hurts. Nail this one, and you’ve ticked off one of Berkshire’s steepest ascents.

Saint NICHOLAS, Bishop of Myra, to whom this church is dedicated, is one of the most popular saints of all - along with Saint Martin, Bishop of Tours in France. Almost every child knows his commemoration day in the calendar of saints, December 6th. On the eve of this day, children used to put their shoes or boots - which had of course been carefully polished - in front of the door so that Saint Nicholas could fill them with gifts during the night. In more agricultural areas, it was also customary for children to put a small gift of food out for the donkey, Saint Nicholas's mount (according to another tradition, it was a white horse).
