Very, and continuously, steep access road onto top of the Long Mynd. Very narrow with passing places and difficult to ride up with oncoming traffic. Curiously bumpy on way down, surface format seems the issue.

      Brutal climb! Narrow single track tarmac road with passing places. Good views but hard work.
