You will be delighted to know that we be cycling up that hill ... Two and a half times.
2 1/2 ?
Wimps.
To get full VFM you have to take the East fork, go over the top of Harting, descend towards Chilgrove, turn round and back the way you just came, El Supremo style. Then enjoy LEE's fondly-remembered near-death experience descending back to the T-junction and the gut-wrenching L turn back up towards Uppark.
Then, after completing a loop of various other hills (you
are going up West Mardon too, aren't you Dave?) you approach S. Harting again from the East and finish off with a lovely leafy climb up Down Place - t'was gorgeous back in October with all the autumn colours - a tunnel of firey orange. You can finish off with another descent & climb towards Emsworth and make it
five full ascents.
Possibly you could fit in a climb of Bignor while you're near Duncton and make it Six Hills?
