Pudsey - Post Hill - Troydale - back to Pudsey. A route with some challenges. Hilly & Muddy. Several Ascents & Descents. Nine stepping stones across Pudsey Beck. A good level of fitness is required.
Photos are from when I reccied the route on 23/05/24.

"The hill started out as a place for motorcycle enthusiasts to hold their nerve on a climb that keeps on going… and going… and going for 527 feet. Since the televised scrambling on the BBC screen stopped decades ago; West Leeds Motor Club are keeping the flame alive with trials and races on a yearly basis."

"The name of the area originates from the newspaper Yorkshire Evening Post, which acquired the area and sponsored motorcycle speed and climbing events on the site from 1926. The western aspect of Post Hill, laid with a cobbled track up the hillside, was said to be the steepest hill climb in the world."
The meeting point is the car park on Robin Lane. This is a short walk from Pudsey bus station.
