I reckon I did the most hill climbing you can do in 1 hour in this area without backtracking/covering the same ground twice. 11.5 miles in total – not bad for a work night with the light rapidly fading.

Since (and this isn’t always the case using the GPS) the recordings of total ascent and descent came out almost the same on this trip I think the gradient graph is broadly right – 1568ft of climbing in total. Here is the graph from Everytrail showing speed and gradient. A few blips – for example, I don’t think I got up to 50mph..

And here is the route:
