I need a steep hill....

psybear

For a photography project, I need a steep hill somewhere. One in a town, ideally in a residential area. The steeper the better! Any ideas?

If you have any plans to come to the mainland, try this spot.

My Dad would take me here when he was teaching me to drive as a 17 yo, got me to reverse park and then do a hill start :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:.

Needless to say my clutch control is perfect to this day.

Anywhere? What about http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=Mount+Zion+Brae,+Arbroath&hl=en&ll=56.556857,-2.589598&spn=0.012488,0.038195&sll=56.567851,-2.576578&sspn=0.012484,0.038195&vpsrc=0&hnear=Mt+Zion+Brae,+Arbroath,+Angus+DD11+1QT,+United+Kingdom&t=m&z=15

How big? Hazelwood Park etc. below the old entrance to the zoo. The Rocky Road top of Cregagh Road, perhaps not Urban enough? Mill Hill Castlewellan?

Vale Street ( Totterdown ) Said to be the steepest in Europe.

Where are you based? Steep Hill, Lincoln?

And there was me thinking that only NI folk read the NI board! Thanks for the suggestions and I should have been more 'geographically specific'. I'm based in Belfast and would rather not have to travel too far! Should have thought of Rocky Road actually - I use it all the time!

How about Dromore? Just down the A1 and there are several pretty steep hills there?
