Well, that is strange. According to the OS map, it's next to nothing, as the contours run parallel to the road. Doesn't feel like it on the bike though.

Exactly! About 15 metres maximum. It depends on exactly where the Bungalow spot height is, as the road drops from the entry to the tramline crossing, but even so it far far less than I would have guessed.
