    snake pass in the north west? interesting. not a very nice climb though. WAY too busy.

    frogatt is better as a quick example. still 900ft or so of climbing too.

    Cragg Vale – longest continuous road climb in the UK (?). Easy climb though… not steep at all.

    Have you seen/considered this… covers a few decent climbs (inc cragg vale) if you do the 52 miler.

    BHF Over the Edge ride…

    The Rake, Ramsbottom.
    That big climb from Tod to Bacup (Bacup Rd)
    Brickworks, Pott Shrigley (although I normally descend to Shrigley cos it's fookin ace)
