I have driven up that street in Harlech.  It is a beast.

There was (is) a street in Bristol that was the steepest I've ever tried to drive up.
I'm surprised that's not in the reckoning.

Tried to go up it in first gear.....and the car kept jumping out of gear.....It just couldn't cope.
I had to do a three point turn and give up.

Cheers - Phil

Was it Vale Street?

Probably was, Davy. :)

Driving up it, it felt  like it was nearer 45 degrees.....not the 22, it says in that article.  ;D ;D ;D.

Netball seems on track though Pierre and there's always Sept.....maybe.

The cricket...it's a funny old game. Don't think we had a great deal of luck but there's huge respect for the way NZ team played and behaved throughout.
