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

Nice find and gracious hand-over.

This is a bit tucked away but hopefully enough in there to give some clues. I rode this very recently.

Sulham Hill near Tilehurst, en route to a watertower per chance?

That'd be too easy, no towers there though - largest ammunition depot in western Europe. The base stores more than 60% of the entire Ministry of Defence’s munitions

Wow, that didn't last long! Yes, and yes. I actually used to live very near where this picture is showing but never cycled back then, so that ride was only the 2nd time I'd been on Sulham Hill on a bike. I went down it - it's a short, sharp hike going up it.

Back to you!

 

[T4tomo]

should be fairly straightforward...

Hmmmm......... New Forest ish maybe ? 🧐

 

[figbat]

Hmmmm......... New Forest ish maybe ? 🧐

Was my knee-jerk thought too.

 

[Ming the Merciless]

Yep I’d concur but so many pull off look like that. Not as straightforward as implied

 

[Dogtrousers]

Hmmmm......... New Forest ish maybe ? 🧐

My thoughts too.

So it probably isn't.

 

[T4tomo]

Your suspicions on the area can be confirmed, it is new forest. I will have a think of a clue without giving it away.

Jesus @Aravis and @T4tomo, you're too good at this. Give us poor mortals a chance!!

Too much time more likely . I'm not speaking for T4tomo of course.

With the New Forest one I thought, correctly as it turned out, that aerial view might be the best way to spot it. I tried that once before with no success whatsoever.

I always prefer to wait for "official" confirmation, but if I don't post the next one tonight the thread may be puzzleless for most of tomorrow. So with apologies to @T4tomo, here's my next one, taken this afternoon:

here's my next one, taken this afternoon:

You tend to ride a lot further than wot I do, so that could be anywhere really within about 50 miles of Gloucester - assuming you are even at home at the moment.

But most of the hills I can think of in that area have rather more woods than the ones in your photo.

There can't have been many better January cycling days than today, but sadly I'm in danger of becoming an ex-cyclist at the moment. The picture was taken by jumping briefly out of my car. The one occasion I did ride along this road the outlook was entirely different!

For information, the picture was taken at about 2:15 and I was home by 5pm.
