Your biggest climb?

[I like Skol]

Biggest climb i do often is from Ashton under Lyne rail station up to Hartshead Pike about 580 ft of climbing in 3 1/2 miles

That's a pimple not a climb!

Climbed close to the highest point of the island I live on, approximately 100 m (328 ft) in the space of about a 0.6 miles.
So 10 or so percent... seems a lot harder then that

Some of you guys are just monsters!
I think I need to lose about 3 stone, 20 years and gain a granny ring!

Very impressed

I've done bigger climbs but this is one is one of the biggest climbs I do semi-regularly in Italy & it's one of my favourites.

Trans Pennine Trail if you want paths

Lots of ways road wise if you don't. Head towards chorley if you want a few hilly bits. Head slightly south of Wigan than around Rainford if you want a reasonably short route.

The biggest continuous climb I've done was 4200ft in California (mt Hamilton.) it's not too hard at 6% all the way up for 20miles but it does take a while. My record is 1hr45mins.

1200ft in 3.8 miles up Hartside Pass at the end of an 84 mile run on day 1 of a coast to coast

Mont Ventoux, in June, from Malaucène. Apparently 5280ft ascent in 13.5 miles. A steady 1h52, so I'm not going to win any Tour de France stages. I'll have to go back and try from the Bédouin side. There is a certain satisfaction...

Mott street in Epping is the biggest one i do regular, we don't have many around this way. well not the places we go to.

True - but that's my Saturday morning run (won't be doing it until 8th Sept now though!). Then back up Windle Edge through Catshaw and to Royd Moor nurseries cafe to finish the first half of the run.



Keep going - I struggled doing it in March this year but now it's OK. Where are you setting off from? - happy to coax you along one morning.

I'm setting off near Tameside hospital

My biggest climb many years ago was from Granada, Spain, to the Pico del Veleta. Starting form around 700m to 3384m over approximately 40+ km, 2684m (8805ft) of ascent.
