GHaywood Posted September 1, 2003 Share Posted September 1, 2003 There's a road running through Grenoside Woods (ok a wide path) that goes up a hill that must have a 45 degree angle up to the top of the crags. I remember it from a sponsered walk when I was at school, after walking 15 miles it almost killed me to walk up that bloody hill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classic Rock Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 There's a really steep hill in Wincobank, begins with J. Can't remember the name offhand. Sheffield is like Rome and Prague - built on seven hills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dug Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 Cobnar Road, just off Chesterfield Road in Woodseats gets really steep at the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upholder Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 Originally posted by Classic Rock There's a really steep hill in Wincobank, begins with J. Can't remember the name offhand. I think it's Jenkin Road, very steep near the top. Problem with Blake Street if it is the steepest it's not very long compared with Hagg Hill or some of the others that have been mentioned.

Abdul Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 Originally posted by upholder I think it's Jenkin Road, very steep near the top. If you think that route is steep, try following the footpath up Wincobank from Brightside near Upwell Street I'd climb the brow of one section, only to see another twice as high! I think it follows the path of the old Roman road when the Hill was occupied about 2000 years ago. Does that count Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Ruscoe Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 Dunno the names... but in Walkley there are loads of streets with hand rails to help you climb up them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abdul Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 The hand rails are for the drunk students Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
