Running up the steepest street in England (Vale St)

I recently decided to try run up the steepest street in England.
Vale Street in Totterdown, Bristol is officially recognised as the steepest residential street in England.
The top 5 steepest streets in England:
5. Gold Hill, Dorset (widely known for featuring in a 1973 Hovis advert)
4. Steep Hill, Lincoln
3. Blake Street, Sheffield
2. Old Wyche Road, Malvern Hills
1. Vale Street, Bristol

    Well done Harry, that certainly looked steep. Is there a Strava segment for it? If not you should create one and call it, Jog On the Steepest Street in England 👍😀

    Try Porlock Hill It climbs approximately 1,300 ft (400 m) in less than 2 miles (3.2 km) up onto Exmoor. This part of the road is very steep hill with gradients of up to 1 in 4 and hairpin bends. The climb is simply terrible. It’s a real leg breaker.

    The two Harry's marked either an advance in editing ability or a chance to unsubscribe 'we really don't need double of him' Apparently not, this has been looked into after. The fastest time was just so stupidly fast it's difficult to believe it was done by someone on foot. Cheers for watching Shaun 🧡
