Somewhere in UK or Ireland? I want to ride up it.

    it could be anywhere, but looks a bit like Bealach - Na - Ba at Applecross in the highlands, if it is, it features in Simon Warrens book 100 greatest cycling climbs, he rated it 11/10......phew!

    Not convinced myself! I drove up Bealach Na Ba many years back; looked wilder than this view and in less open countryside.
    Faster than a tent.......

    Looks a lot like the climb me and a mate did on a trip around the Irish Coast from Galway to Dublin. This looks like the climb from Castlegregory over and down to Dingle. Was a lot a years ago but checking the old 35 mm camera shots looks similar.

    I thought it looked like Dingle should be at the bottom of the hill but I'm not sure having looked at my photo's But you should do the Dingle one anyway I think the Tour of Ireland went over it last year or the year before toward Dingle. So to sum up, there is a nice climb out of Dingle and this looks a bit like your picture - there clear as mud for you :?

    you can see Dingle in this picture and if it is the same place your picture would be from lower down the hill[/url]
