Hell of the Worth looks awesome - done most of the climbs on that one. Love the Pavé.

Nice site - the cobbled climbs round there are brilliant; I've ridden quite a few of them now. Trooper Lane and Old Lane both look brutally hard (in different ways). The toughest I've found so far was Gibb Lane - like Thwaites with the Shibden Wall stuck on top of it with massive gaps to avoid; absolutely desperate!

Some steep tarmac to be found too - look for a little road called Rosemary Lane - kicks up viciously at the bottom (think Hardknott steepness) then a remorseless slog to the top. If you approach it from Bottoms (fnar) you get another section of savage cobbles to soften you up first.

Superb riding round there - never seems busy either.

Have ridden a couple of those sections (one of them ends at my sisters house) and going up rather than down is wise. Had to get off and push down one of the sections because I couldn't see.

Love it!

I've done Haworth main street on a tandem, that's got to be worth some points?
