denlin Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Lodge lane is Reyt steep, Supprised no one has said it yet. They have and on this page too but if you check previous posts the steepest is Hagg Hill based on gradients and I have driven up and down there, not for faint hearted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm06 Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Next to the nursing home on Heeley there is a junction that is very very steep, but it's only about 100 yards of road, does that count? I bet a lot of gearboxes have been left behind on there though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Not very long but Prospect Rd at Totley takes some beating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peak City Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Some seriously great hills in Sheffield. Came down Jenkin Road the other day and it was like a rollercoaster. Lodge Lane is good fun too. Also some of the lanes around Bradfield, in particular the one from Low Bradfield to High Bradfield. But the scariest hill I've come across, which technically just counts as Sheffield, is Pea Royd Lane, dropping down dramatically over the A616 Stocksbridge Bypass. Not even the slightest room for error on that lane! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Total Chaos Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 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. Is it wharncliffe crags? when you come out from the last bush,it just opens out to the crags and rocks on your right hand side and then moorland?

Peak City Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Some roads can feel steeper than their gradient. Very surprised that Jenkin Road only weighs in at 10%. Another good one is Prospect Road between Bradway and Totley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
