Game: Name that road!

[Mr Celine]

You may need to polish map reading skills for this one.

Polish map reading skills, you say?

In the vicinity of Warsaw perhaps?

 

[T4tomo]

Doesn't look much like the Polish war memorial junction on the A40 either....

 

[nickyboy]

Polish or polish? A google rabbit hole produced a brand of shoe polish called "Lincoln"

ah could be cherry blossom, so maybe imperial palace gardens in Tokyo, except that's not in the UK, land looks a bit different.

give it 3 days and Ms Dion will release a clue that isn't so utterly cryptic its actually solvable, and leads you to somewhere within the vicinity the road, and not just the name of the dog of the lead singer of a band, whose 3rd studio album contained the name of the pub at the end of the road

A703, Eddleston, Scotland.

I knew it existed but didn't know it was called the Polish Map of Scotland.

FFS, that's another one we rode on our recent LEJOG. To make matters worse, we actually stopped opposite the pub as my bikepacking bag was rubbing and needed some adjustment

In my defence we were going in the other direction

I actually took a photo for this thread a couple of months back...

The stone seat my bike is leant against isn't on Streetview.

Doubt this'll take too long to find.

Oooh! Please sir! I've been there! I've been there! I have definitely been in a flat field with an unfenced road that goes round a bend....

Well done, once someone spotted the polish / Polish conundrum it was only a matter of time.
I have to confess I've never visited the Polish Map, probably because it was a fenced off ruin until fairly recently.
Wikipedia article for anyone that's interested.
@nickyboy you should have carried on up the B709 to Edinburgh, it's a far, far more scenic and quieter road than the A703.

Not much pan-flat land around Lancaster. My initial instinct thought "looks a bit like the area around Garstang", but I think my prior output on this thread speaks for itself and can be safely disregarded.

Current search hasn't turned up any hedgeless fields though.

 

[ColinJ]

Found it!

Just doing a screenshot....

 

[T4tomo]

how very curious that there is a paved road alongside on unpaved cart track?
