Beacon Hill. Doesn't get used much these days though
Wikipedia lists a good twenty beacon hills in the uk. Where is this one?

There's a road that goes up almost to the phone mast at the top. From the left of the building at the bottom.
Straight up. 60°+ in parts.
Right. 60 degrees for a surfaced road is, umm, nonsense. Back up the thread someone asked about slope gradients as a percentage. A 60 degree slope is 173%.

The only way that's 60 degrees is if it's 60 degrees Fahrenheit.

It's a bit more complicated than that...

60 degrees from the vertical?

They like to hang the washing out across the street up that way. Maybe 60° is the temperature of the wash.

Found an ideal ready made one, that's not been used for a long time, called Silbury Hill.:laugh:

I think member Blazed disappeared over the hill a very long time ago.

I wonder if his dream ever got off of the ground?
