London's Toughest Hills

Being a yorkshire lad (SHAME) I'd be inclined to agree. A hill isn't a real hill unless you die half way up it.

Nine months later and nobody's got that one?

the Bristol one I imagine nigh impossible fixed would be the small lane that goes from the coach station up to Kingsdown parade? I remember arriving back to Uni after summer with a fully laden car and nearly breaking the engine on that mother.

I held my girlfriend's car on the clutch at the top of that hill once when the lights were red. I don't think I've ever been so scared in my life - especially when the lights changed and I realised I was already revving the life out of it just to keep it from rolling back down the hill.

I take it you went to Bristol Uni then? I used to live in Cotham/Redland and had to cycle up Cotham Brow every bloody day. It was only in my last week at uni that I got over myself and accepted that cycling a little further and going down Whiteladies Road, thus avoiding the hill altogether, wasn't altogether that shameful...
