Jumble Hole Road

791.5 m · net rise 70.4 m · total ascent 77.4 m · overall 8.9% · confidence: needs confirmation · Jumble Hole Clough

Shape: sustained — 39% of the climbing sits in a quarter of the distance; longest continuous stretch at 10%+ is 116 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.

≈ Overhead cover (tree canopy or structures) spans 9% 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.
