TomA Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 it may have been mentioned already but I always thought that Lodge Lane was a contender. That ALWAYS needs 1st geer to be used near the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PAKS4 Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 Here you are.... These are the Top Ten steepest hills for the Sheffield area. Hagg Hill (not old Sheffield) gradient 17.1%. Victoria Street, Stocksbridge (not old Sheffield) gradient 14.85%. Blake Street, gradient, 12.79%. Wellfield Road, gradient 12.5%. Fir Street, gradient 11.26%. Cobnar Road (top part) gradient 11.25%. Upperthorpe, gradient 11%. Winnats Pass Derbyshire (between the two Mam Tor roads) (not Sheffield) gradient 10.91%. West Hill Rotherham (from Droppingwell Rd to Poucher St) (not Sheffield) gradient 10.4%. Jenkin Road (From Tyler St/Holywell Rd to the highest part just past Forthill Road) gradient 10%. http://www.robinhoodloxley.net/mycustompage0039.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedbirdone Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 I know it's not Sheffield but im intrested to know where the start and finish points for Winnats are taken from. The section between the 2 cattle grids is around 20% or 1 in 5 for anyone still useing old money. Even if it's taken from the T junction at the bottom to the T junction at the top i would think even the average % would still be way over 11%.

gnvqsos Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 Blake Street is steep but Hagg Hill/Lane is jolly decent climb on a bike but the business is Ewden Bank which has a 25% and a 20% to follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
