Wow - it looks tough, pretty much on par with Pea Royd Lane!
Its a long time since I was up there, so it might be a memory thing, but it doesn't hold the same dread as Pea Road Lane.

Indeed!
I thought it would be easy with the plaque, who knew Robin Hood was a Yorkshire man? does not fit, giving money away.That blue plaque was too big a clue - Wentbridge!
I don't know where it is, but if I set my car's satnav for Glasgow, I'm sure it will take me down it as a 60 mile/h shortcut from the main road.Seek, and ye shall find...

It kind of looks familiar ... similar to a photo you have posted illustrating a very steep gradient on a hairpin.Seek, and ye shall find...

I have posted pictures of steep climbs with hairpins but I can't remember posting this climb in this thread. I checked and I have mentioned it elsewhere on the forum 2 or 3 times over the years...It kind of looks familiar ... similar to a photo you have posted illustrating a very steep gradient on a hairpin.
But I may be imagining that.
That's the one!
Ah, I see what you mean - yes, it does look a bit similar round the bend at the top.No not that one. One with a hairpin. And not in this thread. But it seems I'm not correct so ...
Edit: I was thinking of that climb but not that pic. I was thinking of the second pic in this post https://www.cyclechat.net/threads/do-you-use-toeclips.259829/page-3#post-5959673
