The bit after the pubs the best bit IMO , but there's actually a better road (when you take into account the lack of cops) that was also on lissa & binky's peaks rideout. IIRC you come off the cat through the thirty bit to the first trafficlighted junction & turn left go over a dual carriageway-ey road until it starts to get slightly country sidey and there's a left turn at some traffic lights.

Edit: just realised you've probably gone up it the different direction from me, so in your case the bit before the pub is best!

Will be at the Cat and Fiddle on Saturday probably to collect my new car

Several times East to west not for the faint hearted

I prefer snake pass, but supose i know the road better, i feel it flows better, for me cat n fuddle is a bit stop start, but then again i'm not the most confident of riders
