Ahhh.... I thought that looked familiar, and that was because I'd cycled along there about five hours before seeing the photo

I think it was those white guard rails that triggered something in my memoryAhhh.... I thought that looked familiar, and that was because I'd cycled along there about five hours before seeing the photo

I have a really poor memory these days (have I already told you that...?
) but from time to time I get flashbacks of little bits of rides. Where a red car overtook me, just before I stopped to eat some chocolate. The sheep eating grass growing through a crack in the middle of the road. That kind of thing...The new picture looks very nice!

For once, that is a view I recognise almost immediately. The highest peak is Pen y Fan in the Brecon Beacons, viewed from the north.
I didn't recognise the road instantly, but it turns out to be one I have ridden, but only in the opposite direction. You are just below the Drovers Arms on the B4519. Unfortunately I couldn't combine the mountains and the pub in one view. And don't expect to get a drink after you've hauled your way up here:

Absolutely right @Aravis
I rode quite a distance that day, and you wouldn't believe how long it took me to check the location on streetview, until I looked at the timestamp and saw it was taken just 1 minute away from the Drovers Arms itself.

Is it taken from Dragon Hill Road looking NW down on to the B4507, about here...?

Too slow!! This one I recognised immediately; I have ridden and driven that road countless times.

Is there an order to uploading photos? (i.e. does the previous identifier submit) or is it a free for all?

Usually the 'winner' gets to set the next challenge, although they will sometimes defer to someone else if they are not in a position to post something up quickly.

^ What he said!
And it's the first to post a solution that wins so this time that's @Tribansman. Well done!

I didn't recognise that last one, but it was very distinctive so I'm not surprised that it was named quickly.
I have a picture ready for the next time I answer first. Now of course I won't manage that for the foreseeable future!

I recognised that view from Uffington Castle immediately, but so did others who got to there first! I spent 4 months once staying on the campsite down the road, with wonderful cycle commutes from there into Swindon.
