Game: Name that road!

[Edwardoka]

The berm on the left looks manmade, like a disused railway line, which lead me to thinking that it's somewhere near Dalrymple/Dalmellington but none of the terrain thereabouts is fully forested.

Going by feel alone I'd say that this is in Argyll, or more specifically Cowal, but none of the other clues point to that.

Is it the road north out of Innerleithen?

Nice work. I would never have found that in a million years. It's clear that I need to go explore the Borders.

I think it's par for the course to post a Google street view link.

But @slow scot has it anyway, it's the B709 where it bisects Innerleithen Golf Course.

It’s a lovely ride up and out of the village; the golf course was a help in getting it.
Please could someone jump in and post a new road as I have no camera or photos to post.
I will not insist on another Scottish road, though that would be nice!!
This is a great thread.

Yep. This was the site of my first ‘pitstop’ during my recent, first ever imperial century completed around Oxfordshire on my home brew gravel bike.

Heading out for a lunchtime ride. I will look for a suitable photo of a road after I’ve returned and had lunch etc.

had my planned Newcastle to Edinburgh coast & castles gone ahead in May I would have ridden that road, but as it was we went to peak district instead, as couldn't trust Ms Sturgeon to let us into the country!

How did you get that? I looked at the picture and thought that's another 'could be anywhere' one

well bar the sign for a bridleway to Moreton and a guide to the radius around Moreton to look and the bend in the road!!

When I took the picture I deliberately left the bridleway sign in, to offer a clue to the location of an otherwise-unplaceable road. I thought that there might be more than one Moreton to at least offer a little detective work but I knew it would go quickly.

Bridleway sign, sharp bend signs, double white line, poster‘s location, and radius as above. Right time to look for a road.

Here you go.
