Game: Name that road!

[All uphill]

No takers?

Is a clue needed?

 

[Buck]

I know the area it’s in (I think!) but I can’t find the specific road!

for me, a clue would help!

 

[ColinJ]

An easy clue would be the answer to... Have I been wasting my time looking at lumpy West Somerset?

I live in Somerset and rode along here on a day out starting from home, but this is not in Somerset.

I think @briantrumpet or @mudsticks might be more familiar with this road than me.

And, because I am kind, I will tell you that I didn't ride through West Somerset on my day out.

The friend I was with appropriately got most rebellious a couple of miles further on from here, after being a honey earlier.

That confirms Devon to me.

I’m working on it being the Chardstock area.

Not worked out your second lot of clues yet.

It's East Devon, somewhere in the Greensand Escarpment hills (from Sidmouth stretching up towards the Blackdown Hills and west to Honiton & Ottery. Can't work out which specific road though...the rebellion bit could refer to Fenny Bridges, but it doesn't look familiar...

We went through Chardstock twice on the ride, once before getting to the mystery road and then again on our way home about three hours later.

Well we know he went through Holy City on that ride, because he posted a photo of the bike in front of the signpost.

Which is East Devon.

Just checked, it was more like four hours later.

The rebellion could mean Lyme Regis, as that is where the landing was for the Monmouth Rebellion.

It's East Devon

But surely "And, because I am kind, I will tell you that I didn't ride through West Somerset on my day out" means must be East of Somerset?

(I've zero clue where it is, but it looks idyllic and I want to cycle it!)

Monmouth Rebellion is good, but not Lyme.
