Any one ridden Porlock hill, its not too far from where my mum and dad live in north Devon. Its a tough climb and thats in a car!! Theirs a 4:1 decent into Lynmouth before Porlock so maybe if you got enough speed up on the decent.........
Ah Paul, I remember the hell which is Porlock - Can I point you in the direction of today's cycling weekly in which we have a feature on 9 of the best climbs in the UK.
