Heard that on the highlights programme....25% wasn't it?
Looks nasty but probably a good hill climb course.....similar characteristics to Bank Road (~18%) in Matlock.

Is that a statue of Father Ted in the foreground of the first pic?

That's just good use of a telephoto lens to convey the true perspective of the hill. If you use a normal lens from close everything recedes into the distance; it's the same effect that you see in car wing mirrors, which are slightly convex so as to take in as much view as possible.
If you position yourself a long way away from a subject then view it through binoculars or a telephoto lens you eliminate the effect of perspective and see everything in its true proportions relative to its surroundings; the effect can be quite startling and very revealing.

I don't think it's quite as blatant a hype as KiloToGo's foto of Mow Cop
