UKD-313 - The Crong
REPETTI M A U R O - 30-04-2024:
A little gem this 600 meters long climb, in the middle of the Chiltern hills.
I suggest park to the top, near the Radio Antenna mast (you reach it after 2 miles of one lane narrow road).
Seems to pedal far from the world, in a Lord of the Rings movie, in the middle of two banks full of leaves; road is narrow, muddy and with max steep 15 % for few meters (average 9,3 % ! )
I read on a site that in the 1920s and 30s it was the place where the Bugatti Club held some of their competitive speed hill-climbs.
Worth a visit.

A scary place to take a car as a very narrow road and very few places to park. Cycled to The Crong radio transmission mast in the woods after a steep ascent, deep in the woods
