With the Epping drag (and it's definitely just that, draggy but not a hill - I managed it on some ridiculous gear last year) everyone stays left. If you pull over to the right hand side you have tons of space and can take your pick of poor road surfaces.
There aren't really any climbs iirc, save for the one towards the end (A1009 through Woodford I think) where my lack of drinking and general stupidity meant my legs cramped and locked solid for a good 5 minutes.
There is a 90 degree left hander somewhere after halfway which is a bit sketchy.
