24 measured points along the stretch, threaded approximately — the dots are where the B3162 was scored, and the dashed line between them is not its shape. Numbered pins are the stops listed below.

17% curviness — Tight, sustained bends — well above the average road.

How these scores are measured

Curvy metres is curviness multiplied by length: how much genuine curve this road actually gives you, rather than how tight its tightest corner is. It is the number that separates a mountain pass from a housing estate.
