I just wanted out of the A&E.You've had a few significant health problems in the past... didn't the Grim Reaper 'have a word' at the time?
When my first pulmonary embolism flattened me (I faceplanted on the bathroom floor and couldn't get up) the Reaper was screaming in my ears. I heard an horrendous screeching sound, like the sound of the wheels of a train or tram going round a tight bend. There must be some medical explanation for it, but it was pretty bloody scary. I knew that I was close to death at the time and thought about The Grim Reaper. I don't normally believe in such things, but having one's body pack up suddenly can cause a bit of rethink!

We are away for a few days, in our Motorhome. I had hopes for some cycling, but, this sign has made Mrs @BoldonLad think twice!

That’s not too bad. One of my local ones is just slightly less, but also over less distance so probably steeper. One of my favourites.We are away for a few days, in our Motorhome. I had hopes for some cycling, but, this sign has made Mrs @BoldonLad think twice!

I do like the little car delivering the ball to the centre spot.

Yes, I did point out, it says LONGEST, not STEEPEST, but, I fear the seed of doubt has been sown!
We will see, perhaps two vintage 1947 Pensioners can do it.

You can. There are no nasty surprises, it's one of those climbs to sit up, hold the bars not the hoods, settle in to a rhythm. It's exposed towards the top so best avoided on windy days.Yes, I did point out, it says LONGEST, not STEEPEST, but, I fear the seed of doubt has been sown!

Ice cream van at the top at weekends.
There's a couple of climbs around here that rise 1000+ft and climb for 6+ miles.Yes, I did point out, it says LONGEST, not STEEPEST, but, I fear the seed of doubt has been sown!

They are good training rides.
