uk Hill climbs

I've been trying to collate information about all the UK hill climbs, with course descriptions, records and my efforts over the years. The climbs are split up into districts so you might need some knowledge of the climb locations to find them. The ultimate aim is to cover every UK course but I am starting with the ones I've done most recently. If any data is incorrect/incomplete please let me know in the comments section.

This is by no way a definitive list of climbs and my knowledge can very easily be incorrect but I just love the scene and want to give something back.

Notes on hill climbs:

I have categorised each under a certain type. With short being less than 3 minutes in length, classic between 3 and 6.5 and long as 6.5 onwards. This is not a fixed rule, just a rough guide.

If you are new to hill climbs and want to know some history here is a fantastic summary of the scene.
 
Or better yet check out the stellar book A Corinthian Endeavour
