Unfortunately can't manage a reappearance at drinks for a few weeks due to work/football/holiday. Thought I'd drop in to let you know that having done Swain's Lane on the roadie tonight, it's in the process of being resurfaced (or they're doing summat to the speed humps at least*) and is slightly more challenging/annoying than usual.
There's a good chance that most of the effort trying to go uphill will just send loose stones flying back towards those unfortunate enough to be behind you. Having said that, there's probably never been better motivation to get in front before the cemetary gates.
*with any luck they're removing them. What's the point having speed humps on a steep bastard hill when the only direction you're allowed to drive it is up?
