UK cycling climbs scratch-off map.jpgTick off your uphill achievements on this UK cycling climbs scratch-off map
Everyone loves a map. Everyone loves ticking off cycling achievements. So why not combine the two?
This A3 sized UK map features the designers’ selection of what they think constitutes the top 75 climbs in Britain.
Each of the climbs has a gold scratch-off coating, so when you’ve ridden the climb, you can scratch it off (and its scratched status can perhaps serve as a reminder never to visit that stretch of road again, depending how steep and unpleasant you found it).
Maps International also boast similar maps showing breweries and distilleries if you happen to develop a taste for this sort of thing.
Alex has written for more cricket publications than the rest of the road.cc team combined. Despite the apparent evidence of this picture, he doesn't especially like cake.

Was a stocking-filler type thing but always handy - reflective spoke straws. (They're not reflecting as I turned the flash off.)

Looks like not the UK, but Britain only. I don't see any climbs in Northern Ireland.
Either there are none (?), or the manufacturer does not know that the the UK consists of Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales and England.
yes I can be fair and truthfull - yes I blew up on that steep bend and came to a halt - no way was I going to get back going and clip in so had to walk, but I have done Twtil road which was proper hard it is 30% at it steepest point and is longer so I am proud of that one!
It's officially one way, down only! There's a short part of it on a bend that is 40% and almost unrideable, a bit like riding up a staircase.
With the help of google we find the steepest street in the world is Baldwin Street in Dunedin. NZ. Perhaps these guys should stake a claim. (On a serious note I rather doubt it's 40%, few cars can make it up 40%)
its in Hallech, Ffordd Pen Llech road, I have done it years ago but you have to be a bit naughty as it is now one way - down only! Twtil road climb is very steep too so you could just tick that one off the list as I think that is just as bonkers!
what's the 40% climb in west wales (left of the photo)?
the side of Helvellyn?
(The steepest road in the world is allegedly 35% so it seems unlikely there's a 40%)
Go to google street view, at the top there is a incline sign with 40% on it! (Just above the castle)
Helvellyn is in the Lakes, not Snowdonia!
Ooh, apparently there's an audax version of this - heard about it this weekend. And want.
Scratch and sniff the smell of Black Pudding!
