Which way round

Anticlockwise: Easy first 3.8 km, climbs 19% for 280 m near the end, comes down 15% for 530 m early on.

Clockwise: Easy first 7.8 km, climbs 15% for 530 m near the end, comes down 19% for 280 m early on.

Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.6 km at 10%+, 0.6 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.5 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.

Main descent: km 0.0–1.7, from 326 m to 192 m.
