Game: Name that road!

[Aravis]

I've been hunting avidly along the LEL route, thinking that must be the key.

Absence of roadside cables looked possibly distinctive. Then suddenly something clicked into place. The B1050 Chatteris Road heading north:

I've looked at that very road, and those two turbines and still didn't see it!

OT, but I'm not convinced that the lane to the left is what GG maps claims it to be...

You wanted the Fenland Friends 600 route 😁 , photo from the 2019 event.

We have a winner, over to you.

Another fine view of bonniest Great Britain. Notable vegetation nearby?

 

[ColinJ]

That looks familiar!

(Off to check... Probably VERY wrong though!)

I'm going to say looking south along the B8035 on the west coast of Mull, just south from Samalan Island?

I haven't found the exact spot but it looks very similar.

If so, then I think that I may have posted somewhere on the same road a few years ago?

I've done exactly the same thing i did with your cobbled road near Hebden... I've found a matching photo but not the location other than the general area.

Edit... it looked like Skye so a quick image search...

The A 855 on Skye

I think I am wrong but I bet it is an island nearby... Going to look at Skye next.

PS Ha ha beaten to it!

It's not a very convincing streetview shot but i'm sure that's it... the Duntolm Viewpoint I think

If you zoom in you can see the road snaking up the hillside in the distance - which confirms it to me!

 

[ColinJ]

Not to mention the same vertical cliff face with the rockfall below!

 

[MontyVeda]

If it's OK with @Aravis who's yet to confirm the road, and @ColinJ who created this game, and @potsy who misunderstood the rules a while back... I'd like his post to be the next 'name that road' challenge.

From today..

Great call @MontyVeda.

You didn't need the clue then? 🦸‍♀️🤴

Great call @MontyVeda.

you're gonna have to explain that one

I guess we're also going to have to wait for @potsy to agree that his road (above) is the next challenge, otherwise i'll have to post one of my own.
