Where's the last bit of pavé? Looks well worth a visit...

Ooh bugger, I didn't recognize it at all, and I waited right there for a group just a few weeks ago.

All the same path - The Buttress, Hebden Bridge.
As in (this nausea-inducing video) ...
I never got round to trying to ride up it and almost broke my neck trying to ride down it!

I wouldn't try down, but it's on my list for up now. Harder than Trooper Lane?

I never got round to trying that one either.
I know fit riders who have tried and failed on The Buttress. If you used a low enough gear and went slowly enough, yes, but to attempt it at speed - yikes!
That first section is 90 metres at 32% (which kills the legs early on) and then 215 metres at 19.5%...
If you ever have a go, do it in a dry spell in the summer. The steep cobbles are lethal if damp or frosty, and especially when covered in leaf mulch and/or moss.
Anyway... back to @nomisp's road!

If you do come over for that, make sure you have a go at this one too, only 5-10 minutes ride away.

I took the picture whilst doing a DIY 200 audax themed with as many war memorials as I could manage inside Hertfordshire. This was late 2020 from memory, when you weren’t meant to leave the county without a good reason !
