Five Shilling Wood

Scotland, scotland

At just 1.7km, Five Shilling Wood is short but deceptively intense — 85m of elevation packed into a brief, breathless effort. The average gradient of 5% disguises ramps of 10.2% — the kind of gradient that turns plans into prayers. It's over before the legs know what happened — a short, explosive effort where momentum is everything. Located in Scotland, Scotland.

  • A false flat around km 0 offers brief respite before the road kicks up again.
