Cairo Street

358.3 m · gain 34.2 m · overall 9.5% · Dinas · Rhondda Cynon Taf

Shape: sustained — 40% of the climbing sits in a quarter of the distance; longest continuous stretch at 10%+ is 64 m.

An unlisted find of this survey, on no list we know of. It was discovered by analysing LiDAR terrain data and cross-checked against the OS road network, surface models and map tags — but despite all that, a discovery can still be an artifact of the terrain model or the map. Treat it as a well-evidenced hypothesis until someone has ridden it. If that someone is you, tell us what you found — photographs, corrections and local knowledge all welcome; the map links below let you scout it first.
