Game: Name that road!

[figbat]

I can get the easy clues - the cryptic ones elude me!

Try this on for size. For those who know my usual stomping ground... it's not there.

Not south Oxfordshire... it's a start

There is a HUGE clue in the image.

Is it the cloud? I must admit it does seem familiar.

You're right!

Whilst this isn't in my neck of the woods, it very well could be. From my house I often climb a chalky track to the Ridgeway and ride past the White Horse. On a warm weekend last year I rode along this other chalky track, up to this other Ridgeway, past this other White Horse (although it's more a grey/brown in the picture - needs a good grooming).

I'm fairly certain a few CC members have cycled this road... so I expect it to go quite quickly.

Knew it wouldn't take long.

Over to you SoV

I don't imagine this will take long either. Posting for a fine road and view rather than difficulty!

 

[MontyVeda]

I've got a good idea where to look but I'm resisting temptation. If I'm right, it's a ride I've wanted to do for some time

My guess would be somewhere near dentdale but I really need to get on and fix a puncture.

I know things have moved on but I want to give a bit of praise to @figbat for a fantastic Name that Road picture.

The not very obvious but massive clue of the chalk cutting was a masterstroke. Of course I didn't see it

Thanks - I tried a few views within Google; some were too obvious, others not at all visible - this view gave the hint but needed looking for. @MontyVeda clearly spotted it quickly once prompted to look for it - I knew once it was spotted the location would be easy to find.

I've found @Sea of vapours' road and lost it again... got waylaid trying to plot a cycle route that closely follows that railway journey.

If no one else finds it by Friday, I'll be back
