Game: Name that road!

[MontyVeda]

Another clue?
It’s not in Great Britain

I assume you're referring to Great Britain geographically rather than politically?

GB being the ‘big island’ all the others have their own names 😀

I think they're in GB?

I did think there was a possible fit on Mull, but it didn't check out.

It does!

Boom! 🙌
Taken on a sunnier day than when we were there last September!

Bloody hell!

Not only did I identify that straight away as the most likely fit, I looked at it on street view and I've cycled over it too!!

I am a useless idiot.

 

[Solocle]

OK, so without further ado,

Name that road!

 

[roubaixtuesday]

Bournemouth, East Overcliffe Drive

That's the one!

OK, here goes again...

Name that road!

I too am a useless idiot... I not only went over that climb on my Mull forum ride in 2016, I had also done it in 2014!

I have a vague idea about @roubaixtuesday's latest. Am about to check...

First guess wrong (Carsington Water in distance). Second guess right, but looking for exact spot. I'll bagsy next go though while I search!

It is taken looking south towards Tittesworth Reservoir from just above Roche Grange.

 

[ColinJ]

Well, it is probably further down the road. I'll look for the exact spot...

Actually, it looks like that is the only stretch with the stones at the side of the road. So... just below the cattle grid?

Well done, think that's pretty much bang on!

Very hard to judge what people will get - I thought that was hard, bagged in half an hour.

All yours Colin.

I cycled up from Coventry to Yorkshire in 2004 and went via Carsington Water. I remember that the significant climbs started just north of there, at Brassington. I thought that the photo might have been taken from up there somewhere. Once that turned out to be wrong, I just looked for nearby alternatives.

Here's my next one...

Name That Road!!

 

[ColinJ]

I'm going to make a list of all of my entries in this thread because it is getting hard to remember which roads I have already done! Hopefully, that is NOT one of them...
