Britain's Top 10 Cycling Climbs

[HLaB]

and I thought they were categorised by what gear pre 1920's car could climb them in!

Thats' a better story Mapmyride/Strava etc go on length but thats not as cool

On holiday in Newcastle,Co Down, recently, I took a ride up into the 'Silent Valley' in the Mourne Mountains. According to my Bryton, I climbed to 1321 feet in just under 9 miles. It was a beautifully scenic ride with no especially severe sections and a fantastic downhill run to Kilkeel. Highly recommended.

Pah, the compiler of that list has never ridden a bike in Sheffield...

I've done Streatley Hill on 73" fixed.
It wasn't pretty

Crawleyside Bank from Stanhope is always worth a mention for its 200 meter drag.
It is arguably a more scenic 300 meter climb the other direction across Bollihope Common.

Yep, the Mourne Mountains is certainly worth doing.
