Game: Name that road!

This looks like a clue...

Railway maybe?

This is what streetview shows when you move as close as possible to the building visible in your cropped view. The railways never came this far:

There's not many places in the UK that the railways didn't go... so we could be looking at NW scotchland then?

Has a look of the Black Mountains to me. I'll start looking round Abergavenny when I get a minute.

That's based on "what places do I know reasonably well that it vaguely resembles". So probably wrong

Edit: Should have read the whole thread. "The railways never came this far".

Definitely wrong, and probably Scotland.

Still, I may go and look at lanes around Abergavenny anyway just to reminisce.

I recognise this ^^ but often fail to hit it with a banjo when trying to guess where its located.

cyberstalking old posts reveals this...

...
The pipe is a pretty distinctive feature, and the A832 is the only was through in what I would imagine is a popular area so I thought someone might recognise it quickly. In 1965 it was very much "in your face" but the impact has softened over the years. I rode past it in 1983 on the way to Gairloch Youth Hostel and, eventually, John o'Groats.
...

So from that, I reckon Aravis' latest road is somewhere on the route he took in 1983, and I'm guessing it's between Gairlock and JoG and probably closer to JoG than Gairloch?

If I am correct, there's an awful lot of roads/routes between the two

The railway comment has been correctly interpreted as a hint. I haven't looked in detail, but I imagine around Britain there are a number of areas which lie beyond the furthest extent of the railway network, including some of Scotland's extremities. To find where this is you may need to take a bit of an upstream odyssey.

Iv been doing too much Wordle to be able to make use of that. My brain will only deal in 5 letter chunks

This wayward F1 champ has lost the 1st of November.

 

[MontyVeda]

The only 4 letter F1 champs i can think of is a Hunt and a few Hills

1 November is All Saints’ Day. Not sure how this helps though.

All Saints band member names could be a clue to geographical locations.

Haven't got time to look, I have a shower to clean.
