Langley to Toot Hill°

2696.4 m · net rise 185.0 m · total ascent 219.1 m · overall 6.9% · confidence: needs confirmation · Bottom-of-the-Oven · Cheshire East

Shape: sustained — 44% of the climbing sits in a quarter of the distance; longest continuous stretch at 10%+ is 214 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 (53.2414, -2.0692)'). Corrections welcome.
