Game: Name that road!

[Aravis]

@YukonBoy I think that is looking southwards from the top of the Tim Healy Pass. I rode it in 1984 on my Viscount Aerospace - there'll be pictures somewhere!

Yes, I had a ride around most of the tracks in the 'park' but no sign of it

Did you look in the bit of park on the right as you are going up the road from the canal, there are some sculptures in there.

Yes, I've seen the 'Venus de Gaunts' & the copper(?) mining 'hemisphere'

Plus, the Hooping Stone, on Pickpocket Lane

I take you're local-ish?

Spot on, piccy is from 2016 and I’ll be back riding over it this June.

Over to you.

Yes we have mentioned before our mutual clubs, FRC and ARR, I have changed my user name for security reasons, used to be Afnug.
I live in Pontefract.

OK. So many I could use, but I think this one should give everyone a chance. My usual weather:

Ah - either my memory is playing up (which is definitely possible!) or I hadn't noticed the change. I had noticed a weird new geezer named Venod on CycleChat though!

This was on the way down having just come over the top:

That little fella on the bike can hardly reach the pedals!
nb. I guess this is still the Healy Pass and nothing to do with @Aravis's latest challenge?

No, I don't think so. I'm sure I know where it is, but it should really wait until posting rights have been won, as it were.

I think that I do too.

Correction - I DO know, having now checked on Streetview!

A friend used to have a big photo of it on his kitchen wall...

The road isn't visible but it goes over the bridge.

This is 2 miles from my house, it’s the A659 partially rebuilt bridge over the River Wharfe in Tadcaster, North Yorkshire. The listed 18th Century Bridge partially collapsed on the 29th December 2015 and reopened on the 3rd February 2017.

Apologies to all, especially @Aravis
As a noob to the thread, i clearly failed to appreciate the protocol. Sorry!

Maybe a little help is needed with the current challenge. The hills in the background are extremely distinctive and dominate views for miles around. Here are a couple of other images taken on cycle rides in the area which may be more easily recognised:
