Lane near Trebudannon°
3937.8 m · net rise 43.4 m · total ascent 142.0 m · overall 1.1% · confidence: needs confirmation · Trebudannon · Cornwall
Shape: stepped — 52% of the climbing sits in a quarter of the distance; longest continuous stretch at 10%+ is 115 m.
Found purely from mapping and LiDAR data, and not yet matched against books, race records or lists — it may be well known to locals under a name we've never heard. It was cross-checked against the OS road network, surface models and map tags, but 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 you know this road, tell us what you found — photographs, corrections and local knowledge all welcome; the map links below let you scout it first.
° The name is provisional: this climb is not yet matched to a documented name, so it was named from nearby map places. There is no evidence of local usage — (auto-named from gazetteer (hypothesis, unreviewed); discovered as 'Discovered lane (50.4252, -4.9724)'). Corrections welcome.
needs review short_window_divergence — treat short-window maxima here as provisional.
≈ Overhead cover (tree canopy or structures) spans 5% of this route — detected by comparing the surface model (DSM, treetops and rooftops) against the terrain model (DTM, bare ground). Under cover the bare-ground model is built from fewer laser returns, so metre-scale readings can wobble; maxima whose window sits in a covered zone are marked ≈ below — less certain — the flag does not say whether the true value is higher or lower. Longer windows average over more clean ground and are steadier.
