Game: Name that road!

[Ming the Merciless]

ah the well known fine shade wood and kings cliffe
WTF was the roman blake 7 stuff about @Ming the Merciless ?

There is the remains of a Roman Villa in Apethorpe. Another clue could have been that Rowan Atkinson lived there, but that’d be too easy.

That makes sense, but what about needing a boat to go South?

That threw me completely, I was looking for things on eth South coast, or just North of a sizeable lake.

There was something about being "stuck in a rut", which combined with the boat thing suggested, I thought, that it could well be in the area north of Rutland Water. Alas not.

We seemed to have was a scattergun of vague hints which could all have meant a variety of things. My clues, on the other hand, are carefully constructed and accurately targeted. No doubt you'll all have another chance to enjoy them soon...

That was indeed one of the places I looked, for just the same reason as you

Yours tend to be good but rather too cryptic for me

Me too... but quickly got side tracked and ended up reading about and listening to The Rutles

Kicking myself for not spotting the significance of "caught in a rut".

I'd looked (briefly) to the North of Rutland water too (boat and audax clues), but didn't understand the other clues so couldn't narrow the search area. Abandoned Rutland , thinking "Avon" was far more significant. One hell of a blind alley.

That was the wrong way, I’d forgotten Rutland water was north not south. It was a long day on the bike! You’ll notice rut get mentioned a few times.

Ha that’s what you think about your clues, but most of them just leave everyone else stumped and scratching their heads. Good job non of us set crossword clues.

Your thinking seems to be stuck in a rut, on this fine day are you seeking shade?

I got my north and south mixed up. It was a lomg day on bike. Rutland water is not far to the north.

 

[Ming the Merciless]

Now now don’t going misquoting, did you mis the boat reference ?

A house off to the left and white tops that could be the top of a big tent or Gompa.

I don't even know what a Gompa is.
