In Isaac Newton's words "What goes up must come down" in my words "Jacobs Ladder done downhill now the challenge begins to go uphill" Eeeekkkkkk its as steep as I remember it to be and Abbotshall Rd leading to it is almost as steep and 3 times as long, a total continuous uphill distance of 1.2K at least. Oh well, onwards and upwards ;)

Sounds a bit scary.... good luck! There's still one hill near me I haven't 'collected' yet in my observer's book of local hills. I've tried it twice, and it's defeated me both times. Not for much longer though, I'm breathing down its neck!

Love your style and positivity. We runners can't be beaten by a hill or two it just takes time.
