I vouch for the that hill out of Settle being very hard. When we did on Way of Roses last year had loose cows running down it at same time.
Riding the Long Mynd the other day I had to warn a group of novice mountain bikers about going up this road. I met them struggling with a climb the other side & they asked my advice about whether the descent they'd chosen is a good one. It is, but they'd have had to ride this way to get back to where they were staying.Oh my god - I'm worn out from following it on Google maps!
Some say it is grim up North. But really they are jealous of our hills.......

This hill is in Stoke Canon, Exeter
It's a bitch! tried it my first time last night and did it with no stops! the first of all my mates to do it! It's the only hill I was in the very lowest gear for, such a struggle. A definite must if you live around this area!!
