Game: Name that road!

[ColinJ]

As a matter of interest... Your previous road wasn't E of Lake, looking over Coniston Water, was it?

Let us know where the other one was otherwise we'll have two games on our hands!

It really does remind me of the road on the east side of Coniston, and there is a gap in the Street view coverage...

I cycled north on that road on the way to Hawkshead and stopped at the Terrace Coffee House at Brantwood. If I had got the road in this picture, I would have used it as one of my offerings, but it was taken from the cafe itself...

It’s not Coniston but it is the Lakes. It is east side of Lake Windermere.

Stop it now @ColinJ or you'll have to answer to the Dark Lord who created this thread.

Oh hang on a minute, you are the Dark Lord who created the thread. Carry on as you were ...

Ah - we stayed at Hawkshead overnight and then cycled down the west side of Windermere the next day. I thought it looked like that area!

Anyway, back to fords...

We had got the train to Windermere and were using buses to get about. The photo was taken when on foot walking back to Windermere.

Barwick, near Much Hadham in Hertfordshire

It suddenly dawned on me that it looked familiar, and there are two fords close by that I have ridden over around there - sure enough it was the 2nd one I googled.

Yes I always use the footbridges these days - had a comical dunking experience in a local ford when I first moved to our village and don't wish to repeat it.
Will post another picture for you all tomorrow.
