Thanks I'll have a read. I went from Rockley to Hackpen which I reckon was a couple of miles of gradual incline - not short and steep like Hackpen from Broad Hinton. Manage to break the speed limit in Broad Town though - always pleasing I always used to use being able to ride up Basset Down, Salthrop and then Hackpen Hill as I sign that I was in reasonable shape after the winter. Never really been a fan of winter cycling, so it would give me an idea of where I was after the break. Now though, I take it much easier, if I feel like it then fine if not get off and push More than likely though I'll go off road if possible, so from Rockley it would be up over 4 mile Clump, to Barbury, bit of Ridgeway then down through Uffcott.

Would be great but the ride down from Lancashire may tire me out and I need to be in the office in Manchester by 9 so will have to cry off.

Callas Hill....up out of Wanborough....shortish but sharp. Along with the hill up past the Swindon Golf Club Course, the only two to merit a single black arrow on my local 1958 OS inch sheet.
