Once we had ridden through all the long and flat roads to reach the Skurweberg pass, it was time to climb up and get onto the plateau higher up as we moved in-land. Looking at ridge it didn't seem to daunting, but once we got going it turned out to be an excellent ride up and quite steep and sharp at some points, with a bit of loose gravel for good measure.
