Game: Name that road!

[T4tomo]

At first I thought it was more of an invitation "Slow Down, Beer" which would be a sign I could get onboard with

at this point, you've not long gone past the nearest pub, although that closed long since, so no chance of beer. You're approx equidistant from 2 other pubs, one of which brews its own beer and has done since the mid '80's, which was a bit of a rarity in those days.

I was going to offer up another clue, but I actually think the above should get you close enough for two pints.

still no ideas?

As I crested the short hill that leads to that long flat straight, the view was spoiled by a daft hornet flying around.

 

[BrumJim]

Scotland?

 

[T4tomo]

Scotland?

No - definitely England

the pub / come brewery shouldn't be too difficult to find (obviously not if your looking in Scotland. An OS map view might be more help than google map.

Hmm. First thought was the aircraft, but there aren't any of them still flying. Could still be a reference to where they used to be based - RAF Wittering or Church Fenton (Both bases my Dad was stationed at for periods during his RAF service).

[EDIT}
There is also the US F-18 Hornet (and super hornet). Not sure if any of those are stationed in the UK

"Flying around" could be an anagram signifier, so anagram of "daft hornet"

Thetford ... no has "an" left over. Thanet Ford? Fort Hat End?

I reckon Thorne from the hornet clue...?

Generously donated to the collective because I have other things to do!

those that are actual places are too far south.
@Dogtrousers is closest and he is using all the correct letters

Summon your inner Previn and get them in the right order!

The view is from approx 250m above sea level and the road rises very slightly there, false flat, the "hill" as you would call it is behind you.

The brewery and pub where you may have had two pints, 4 miles earlier, are just over 100m lower altitude.

I think it will still be there for the taking when you're free @ColinJ despite the clues and hints already given

Ha ha - I am currently using Street View not to find your road, but to recce the ones that I will be riding in the Vale of York tomorrow!

 

[T4tomo]

Indeed, saw that- enjoy not many contour lines to cross in the vale of York. If you get to my road you've made a wrong turn somewhere and defo wont make it back home before dark
