Ah... Well, strictly speaking, the van was pointing towards me, but was stationary. The delivery driver was outside the vehicle. He was obviously going to continue in the wrong direction afterwards though.

I have encountered vehicles driving down at me (and pedestrians crossing down towards me too) on that road in the past though so I am more careful when turning up it now.

I do it nearly every day on my 'singlespeed' bike (now a 6-speed but it spends most of its time left in the 1 gear). It is a testing little climb to sprint up - roughly 100 metres at 10-12%.
