Shape: sustained — 34% of the climbing sits in a quarter of the distance; longest continuous stretch at 10%+ is 362 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.
° The name is provisional: this climb appears on no list we know of, 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 (52.7360, -3.7686)'). Corrections welcome.
