Leith Hill - Surrey Hills no.2

Leith Hill

This is a bit tougher than Box Hill.  6 out of 10 on 100 Greatest, and long too - 2km.  It's the length and the sections of 12% that make it tough, the flatter bits reduce the impact.

Starts steep, narrow-sided and potholed 12%
Then levels out (6%) around about the stately home on the left
Then goes up again and into the trees - in fact there are about 4 steep
 bits and 4  flatter bits
No views at the top, you're in tree cover
The White Downs climb follows pretty much straightaway after Leith Hill.
