From this I have deduced that your location is a place called either Itmpwpyotrr or Wycr
Google maps has found the latter - it's a radio station in Pennsylvania.
You are in the wrong place but on the right 'track'... :whistle:

There's usually an 'initially' clue in the Observer's Everyman crossword, which is always the easiest clue.

Something like West Yorkshire Canal Road...

Well, here it is, found by scouring the OS maps along the Rochdale Canal (not that one) and then the Huddersfield Narrow:

I still have absolutely no idea what the clues were all about. I'll have another look now. :cuppa:

I thought my photo would put you on the right road originally; would yield clear results!
I chose "originally" originally rather than "initially" initially, to be a bit more sneaky, but the idea is the same. Now it should be a little more obvious. Of course, if you have never solved a cryptic crossword in your life, then that probably won't help! :laugh:

Those damn semi-colons - they can't be trusted - always sticking their noses in where they are not wanted!
The semi-colon is there to distract you...

Put a full stop in...

Yes, the initial letters of the odd-looking phrase 'would yield clear results'. Odd-looking should make you wonder why I chose those words!

So, WYCR.

You are in the wrong place but on the right 'track'... :whistle:
It's not in Pennsylvania!

I cycle in Lancashire and... Yorkshire. Yorkshire also begins with a 'Y'!

Just Google WYCR... West Yorkshire Cycle Route.

That road is a particularly hard climb on the WYCR northwards from Marsden, near Huddersfield.

:okay:
