Conduit Road is quite steep.
There are no handrails to prevent you sailing off into the former Unitarian Church on Crookesmoor Road and potentially damaging a listed building.
A listed building you say, that'll be prime land, perhaps we can build on it? Too late, that's already happened.*
Conduit Road is approximately 223 metres long and has a rise of 30 metres.
That's a gradient of 0.13, or more familiarly as a percentage that's 13%, or slightly steeper than 1 in 8 as it used to be shown on road signs.
Here is one sign at the top of the street.
On a modern mountain bike cycling up Conduit Road presents no problems and it can be done without breaking sweat, unlike the equivalent on Blake Street.
Conduit Road may be steep, but not as steep as the street with the Blake Hotel at the top.
The distance and height information were gathered using GPS devices.
*The building is still there, it now has additional elements added at the rear, perhaps not so bad.
