    My photo going up walbury was none too flattering.
    I was surprised that when i was climbing it at least 2 people were walking it. Now I'm no climber (wrong side of 100 kilos) but it wasn't that bad was it?

    Not necessarily in that order [:D]

    Bought myself a less comically small skid-lid yesterday - Picked up a Bell for 20 quid from Condor!... Useful detachable visor to hide my pained hill-climbing face.

    Jocksboy - I have to admit to stopping half-way up, mostly at the thought of keeping up that level of effort for the next 'n' miles - but yes there are much worse!

    Did anyone notice the whole raft more photos go online on the dgs-photography site yesterday?

    <hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></blockquote id="quote"></font id="quote">That's the second easiest of the four climbs of that ridge in that area. The road coming up from Hungerford is worse. The road from East Woodhay is horrific.

    I cut my (cycling) teeth around there and never worried too much about that particular climb.
