    I'm going to say "Tenbose" but you will correct me.
    I am in awe at your Italian knowledge as I've been up them.

    Remember it otherwise but now I see the vehicles are modern
    so no problem it is Nokereberg.

    Spot on. Not the best known Flemish hill, but the finish line was a bit of a hint; each year at Nokere Koerse

    Quite a few races come over it and my best memory is 2010 with Ian Stannard pulling through that wind lashed rain and only to have some wheel suckers come by on the line in Kuurne.

    That last one is Col de Rousset, in the Vercors.
    Where's York Hill?

    You only took three minutes longer to get that than it takes me to descend it.

    Yep - Kent, where they have the Catford CC hill climb every year as ridden by Wiggins, Dan Lloyd amongst others

    Above is that the taaienberg?

    Thanks. I know the Catford hill climb, didn't know the name of the hill

    Well, I watch the Tour of Austria and get to see that finish every year, so does that count? :wink:

    Writing that just alerts people to the possibility of cheating.

    That isn't cheating; that's just being learned.

    That's the start of two climbs, although only one of them is well known

    Well York Hill is my present and this I think is my past. Slight edit. Is that a certain road snaking away from Ladybower ?

    Yeah I think the HOlme Moss/Woodhead junction would be on the other side of the reservoir if it was that ? Snake sounds more likely.

    That's what was bugging me DeV. It looked so familiar but not quite right for Woodhead/HM. Used to do a great ride out of Holmfirth, over the Strines, over the Snake and back over the Moss. All on 42x21. Couldn't do that now !

    Looks suspiciously like a lake rather than a Hill, have I missed something?

    Yup.

    Harder to spot looking up it as opposed to down it.

    I've never seen that picture of Snake Pass before, it's just beautiful
