A Devon motorway as my F-in-L from Newton Abbot called them.
That's it @Buck !Here’s the road View attachment 607994
I thought it was Cubar (hard National Hill Climb near Bakewell). Then I thought it was another I know near Great Longstone which drops off an escarpment. But it's neither. So I'm stumpedThat was a good one to choose @All uphill. Certainly got the grey cells working.
A beautiful part of the world and certainly as hilly as my Yorkshire.
Talking of hills, let's try this one. (Sadly not my photo but a screen grab from GE hence the quality)
Clue: This is the second half of the climb.

I think so. If someone has ridden it they recognise it and it goes early - bar the oddd exception where someone response t the answer that they rode it last week but was too tired to look at the scenery . It looks a bit NY Moors-ish, although hard to tell the type of stones from the picture quality, but I can't place it.All a bit quiet re this (having said that, I’m glad to see it didn’t go in the first 30 mins!!)
Another clue needed?
Colin knows where I live!
Back in 2014 the second day of the TdF Grand Depart cycled very near to this road.
A58?Colin knows where I live!

Hmm very near, but crucially not up (or down) itColin knows where I live!

I thought it looked like West Yorkshire. Can't locate it though.
The map is incorrect, it's the A58 at the top of the Cragg Vale climb.TdF 2014 Stage 2 map
