Game: Name that road!

[Aravis]

No takers yet? I can confirm that @Dogtrousers's intuition is correct - it is Scotland.

This is a view in the opposite direction (northwards) from a few miles further south on the same road. This is the direction in which I rode. I barely remember anything of this, which makes me think visibility must've been rather poor:

I know nothing of Scotland really... but those distant hills made me think of some hills called The Paps (probably from a previous entry of NTR), so googled those, found they were on jura and about two minutes later, very flookily found not only the right road, but pretty much the right spot too.

It's the B8024 on the banks of Loch Caolisport

This should be easy as it is so distinctive, but I confess I’m totally stumped. I first thought Arran was in the background, but discounted that, then maybe looking out to Rhum, but not that either.
Are we way down south looking across the Solway to the lakes?
Ah, my next guess was going to be Jura, but looks like @MontyVeda has solved it!

I had a look at the picture but nothing rang a bell so I didn't pursue it, but I have actually run over the Paps of Jura while competing in The 1997 Lowe Alpine Mountain Marathon, in my defence we didn't go down that road went via Tarbert to Kennacraig then the ferry to Isla then another ferry to Jura, looks like we missed a good road.

Well done @roubaixtuesday, perfect description.

After riding most of the way around the B8024, very tempting was the minor road around the next peninsula, but I was put off by the gap after the place called Ellary. Even with Streetview I'm still not certain a road bike could get through, but it looks like a magnificent ride if you could.

On with the next!

Ahem

no challenging hill on this road.

Name that road!

A very distinctive fence which should be recognised by anybody who has seen it! And some very non-distinctive fields and trees for those who haven't...

 

[ColinJ]

Let's assume that it is local to @MontyVeda...

It is flat, so I suggest concentrating on the Wyre/Fylde area between Lancaster, Preston and Blackpool.

those who know me know i don't stray too far from home

This is about half a mile down the same road, but looking south... the road is straight, as far as the eye can see, and then some.

Not me! Kudos @MontyVeda

I’ve got it, but I’m local so I’ll leave it to others! @ColinJ is bang on with his deduction👍

being local to the area shouldn't exclude you.

go for it I say!

Ooh go on then, it’s Lancaster Road, Scronkey south of Pilling

 

[MontyVeda]

Scronkey is such a great name for a hamlet

It's also a great direction to head in when it's baking hot with barely any wind.
One can ride from Morecambe to Knot End and the biggest 'hill' is a canal bridge at Glasson.

Over to you @Ajay!

 

[Ajay]

A slightly hillier location!
