I still can't work out what the cryptic clue means, even having found the road

well done

Was that all there was to it?

No there was much more......

It's not cumbria or kendal.
By the way it's the sort of place one goes for restful contemplation, which may explain the path.

did you not think why has he stuck "Kendal" in there, that no-one mentioned?

Ah.

No, I missed that completely.

I also think @ColinJ may have ridden the same TdeY sportive I rode in 2016 that came through there in reverse

I'm sure everyone saw the references to trees and spotted the word 'forest' in yesterdays clues, but I couldn't narrow the search area any further until Abbeys were mentioned.
Annoyingly I'd ruled out Dalby Forest Drive an hour ago, after not looking properly. Time for specsavers.

Looks good, am hoping to visit the area this summer as family have a cottage there.

This is often the way

I've never been there.

Once I knew it was somewhere between Morecambe and Robin Hoods Bay and that the trees were important, I just started looking for "forest" or "woods" on that route. Found North Riding Forest Park, then when I zoomed in on that found Dalby Forest Drive, then saw the lake, and bingo.

Oh damn - I've actually ridden along that road in 2016... There was a feed station for the Tour de Yorkshire sportive just round the corner from there...!

 

[ColinJ]

Ha ha - yes!

I'll have a look for a photo this evening when I'm on my own computer.

I thought so from previous posts.

It was the first feed stop with 2 very chatty lasses handing out some coffee, which was pretty nice - we had 2 each- but its USP seemed to be all about a precise measure of caffeine per serving, which I never really knew was a "performance" issue. as long as it has some caffeine in it who really cares if you are get x grammes or +/- 30%?

Ok, here we go.
Streetview because I didn't have my GoPro turned on (by mistake), away from home, but I did ride it in 2021.

I have too...we did that loop on one of my Leeds-Scarborough CC rides. I think @I like Skol and @Kestevan did it too. Don't remember that bit at all

Looks like we have a bus stop and a pub and a white line down road. A very rare occurrence, that’ll narrow it down!

and a no thru road just after the bus stop, and an unusual, brick on top of stone built wall.

But against us is "Away from home" so not within 30 miles of all of his other roads....
