Game: Name that road!

[Ming the Merciless]

I think that I would remember that stretch of road if I had cycled on it.

Once someone has identified it I will probably realise that I HAVE done - my memory is pretty useless these days.

What were you saying I forget

 

[Ming the Merciless]

The fact it’s a shot blue blob to block out the road name makes me wonder if it’s a B road? That faint hill in the distance has a similarity to the Wrekin. I reckon it’s a good 50 miles away.

no road markings also suggests a B road. I can't help but wonder if the protrusion centre left on the horizon might be a water tower or a windmill, or maybe it's just a big tree?

I just spent a while looking at what turned out to be a dirty mark on my screen.

Note to self. Clean laptop

not centre left, but getting warmer (ish)

Black Mountains- too far away, Wrekin - wrong direction

 

[Willd]

OK, so if the Google camera car's camera has sufficient resolution those might be the Cotswolds.

There is also an elephant in the room on the horizon, not just a dirty laptop screen

Just next to the dirty smudge on my screen (stll haven't cleaned it) is this

Which looks like a big crane or something. It's tall but not vertical. It's not an elephant. It might be a really big giraffe.

If giraffes grow to 91 metres tall

It is vertical, just their dodgy lens

DAB mast, Daventry?

We are looking south and south west down road then?

 

[Willd]

Yes, road runs SW, SSW ish. Mystery object is about 4 miles away in a straight line and makes a good sundial

 

[T4tomo]

hmm looks like a concrete chimney rather than a mast /transmitter

which are we right to assume is NE / NNE of the Cotswolds.

google isn't revealing many likely candidates

 

[figbat]

The chimney is at at Long Itchington. Still quite a radius to find the road though...

Birdingbury road

took me 30 seconds with @figbats clue, so over to @figbat for the next....

I initially thought it was looking down off the ridge at Rately towards that odd MOD thingy at Kineton
