Game: Name that road!

[Aravis]

Definitely Scotland!

Not Skye, Rum or Jura. Something a bit more prosaic; Arran seen when approaching the Claonaig - Lochranza ferry. I was there a couple of months ago, but I'm surprised how narrow the road looks for what is an important through route, so it wasn't my first guess:

indeed - single-track road to ferry terminal. guess the traffic comes in waves and generally in one direction at a time

I confess I haven't ridden it...... yet: I'm plotting an Ardrossan to Inverness via Caledonian way, so will have the reverse view

This should be easy, though you may wonder why anyone would choose to ride it:

Indeed.

Never ridden it, but have driven over that bridge pretty often, when travelling to my daughter's place in Worcester, when I lived outside Merthyr tydfil.

 

[Alex321]

Damn. Now I've got to find another.

 

[Aravis]

Yep, well done @Alex321. In times gone by, if I wanted to ride up into mid Wales, it would be Severn Bridge, Wye Valley, A40/A4137/A49 to Hereford and probably on to Leominster. It all seemed perfectly sensible at the time. Nowadays I'd be more likely to pass under the A49 bridge in Hereford on the cycle path, although I might still head out of the city south-west on the A465 in search of better things.

Maybe something a little older again next time.

Over to @Alex321.

 

[Alex321]

Ok, let's try this one.

I think that was the first time somebody has posted a road here that I have immediately thought "I know that one".

I had it with one that nickyboy posted. There was one little problem though - "I know that one - IT'S IN SPAIN!", so it was disqualified.

I'm just leaving a village with delusions of grandeur here.

 

[Aravis]

Running my eye over the area west of Cardiff, I noticed the name "City". Looks promising!

Now let's see if I can get back to sleep!

Well done!

I always prefer to wait for the setter's confirmation if possible. I think I'd better go ahead now, and I know how much you all appreciate my clues.

The old woman can tell you a tall one:

That reminds me. Did we ever get an explanation for "m'lard"?

In my case, it was "m'beer"!

As for the road...
