If you're even remotely interested in Hill climbing or just like to know what to avoid then you've probably got UK Hill climbing bible somewhere on your bookshelf - http://www.amazon.co.uk/100-Greatest-Cycling-Climbs-Cyclists/dp/0711231206

The 100 greatest climbs outlines the best of what the UK has to offer....me....i've done about 6 of them and struggled.........Darren Pout on the otherhand is a mountain Goat, i'm not sure how many other climb he's done but that doesnt matter as this week he's climbed the Holy Grail of all the UK's climbs................

Bealach-Na-Ba

The toughest and wildest of all the UK's climbs...Located on the North west of Scotland...its 8.9km long with 20% sections...... http://app.strava.com/segments/6671117?filter=overall

Tough seems like a understatement!!

Its definantley one for the future....maybe a club trip!

Chapeau Darren....I hope you had a big slice of Cake in Applecross and a wee dram!!!
