Trying to place those chimneys or masts in the background, starting with Lincolnshire as a clue.
Anywhere near Brigg? Wrong angle, but a similar look: https://goo.gl/maps/YvypKV9G3cjbeT3t6

We have a winner. It’s the nice quiet road that runs up the left hand bank of the Welland between Crowland and Spalding. The chimneys are Spalding power station.

Over to you.

You're at the top end of North Uist, looking northwards towards the Berneray Causeway. I think the higher ground in the background is the island of Pabbay.

I'm afraid this is all from online searching. I've never been anywhere near there in my life.

Good research, don’t let it go to waste. Plan your trip now as it’s first class cycle touring. The camera doesn’t show the wind.

Erm, the Outer Hebrides are certainly on my wish-list. About twentieth! That's no reflection on how fantastic they are, just that there are too many places and not enough time.

Anyway, this one is vaguely suitable, and it shouldn't be too hard:

@OldShep - 'I can see clearly now' - Have to admit you got me on that one and my first thoughts were wrong (the road between Northton and Scarista). Just done a quick google view to remind myself

Great on a good day - even the experience of a bad day is something. As you say so many things to do and so many places to see

A lot is going to depend on the time of day - is that a morning or evening sun? Are you an early riser @Aravis ?

 

[OldShep]

I’ll guess it’s evening and on the West?
Because the drink bottles look empty

Indeed they are. In fact there's a mildly funny story about that, which I'll tell once it's been solved.
