That doesn't bother cyclists

I wonder if, on the assumption they get the title, they will change the direction to draw in the cycling tourists?

Is there some requirement from Guiness Book of Records for the length of steep road?

Around Bacup and Waterfoot they call steep little roads A Brew..
Some of them you need ropes and belays, so steep..if that's the spelling.

Twtil was definitely signed as 1 in 3 in the 80s.

Measured over 10m section apparently. There's a 5m section at 46% according to the Grauniad.
