Game: Name that road!

[T4tomo]

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:

No apologies necessary, well done! Any clue mentioning Canada was going to be a bit of giveaway.

Had a great weekend on the gravel bikes a few years ago down there.

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.

so it could be as far away as Exmoor?

Indeed it could. Defo not Scotland though

 

[Ming the Merciless]

Wherever it is, it’s reasonable to assume you are looking towards the highest point. If Exmoor that’d be in direction of Dunkery Beacon

That clump of trees on the road bend would show on an OS 1:25,000 map I would have thought. The upper land also has a peaty look about it.

The feature is marked, but not as a clump of trees. Take a look inside a putrid donut, then stop.

possibly a pond?

Aravis's cryptic clue has go me scratching my head. Something "halt"?

Well there is a place in South Wales called Tondu (anagram of donut), and it does have a railway station. But it don't look anyfink like the photo

Normally "inside" would indicate an embedded word "aputriddonut" doesnt seem to have one

Yeah, I'd been looking for that as well. I wasn't sure whether that would be it, or whether the "putrid" implied the next word was an anagram. I'm not great at cryptic clues.

 

[Dogtrousers]

I skipped over the putrid donut (not a sentence I've ever typed before) and looked at "then stop". Possibly its somewhere Halt?

 

[Aravis]

The solution to the clue is the name of the feature (clump of trees) noted by @Ming the Merciless.

I can quite see that "putrid" could be an anagram indicator, but if the word to be rearranged was "donut", I don't think I'd've used such a word. Far more likely that I wanted an adjective which could apply to donut ending with the right sequence of letters.

 

[Aravis]

Maybe pictures work better. Some words/syllables are easier to represent than others:

🗑️99.94

Alternatively, get it the old-fashioned way from the picture. It's quite characteristic of the region in question, though the absence of any visible backward rot may be creating some doubt.

 

[Dogtrousers]

Goes and googles "asymptotic kitkat"

No tor
Could be Dartmoor

 

[BrumJim]

Well, 99.94 is Don Bradman's lifetime 1st Class batting average.
So the answer is Tumbler Bradman Break.
