Game: Name that road!

[BrumJim]

Ooh, very close, but @Willd gets it.

Commiserations, @ColinJ

Ha ha. I thought about making a 'holding post' - "I think it might be Welland Viaduct. Looking for exact location", that type of thing.

I cycled there on one of the Rutland forum rides. It's an impressive structure that sticks in the mind; even my forgetful one!

Oh, and the area that I was looking in for Aravis's road (which turned out to be in Ayrshire) was Shropshire. I was looking at some lovely roads in the area round Church Stretton.

That's the joy of this thread. Even if you're totally wrong you can discover some great places to ride on Streetview.

Funnily enough, that was exactly what I was thinking at the time! I haven't been to Shropshire but I will do my best to have a trip there one day.

Another view of Charwelton BT tower from Upper Shuckburgh, oddly enough this one isn't on Streetview

Very nice, but we want you to show us a road and ask us where it is, not tell us!

whilst the foreground is littered, its not littered with clues.....

There is what looks like a dry stone wall, which rules out the South East and much of the Midlands.

Not limestone , so rules out White Peak and Dales

I have a dry stone wall (albeit in my back garden and built specially to our instructions).

its also looks bit moorland / uplandy behind the wall, in that its not straight into a grazing field.

There’s obviously equine activity nearby - a yard or bridleway. It doesn’t look like Lambourn - what does Newmarket look like?
