Game: Name that road!

[Ming the Merciless]

How about the road up Mam Tor from the north then? I've not been there for a couple of decades but it sort of looks right.

Bingo, that’s the road leading up to Mam Nick from Barber Booth

Quite a way from Northumberland then The best hint was that it should be quick / easy

I can't decide whether to go for something which might prove really problematic or something which almost certainly won't. Hmmm.... as I'm not online much to confirm things for the next day, this is the easy one.

Northumberland as a file name was a bluff

That looks familiar!

Up from Langcliffe.

Up from Langcliffe.

Ha I was over Malham way.

 

[Sea of vapours]

Correct. I'll just keep the very slightly trickier one for next time then.

Much later and your battery would be flat!

I'm getting deja vu (all over again... )!

I have the feeling that I might have used this one before, but a quick search of the thread didn't find it. Apologies if it IS a rerun! I have included an inset clue which will help if you look at maps rather than just Streetview.

Name That Road!

 

[MontyVeda]

Trying to narrow this down.

Since you went to the trouble of adding the inset, i guess the footpath crossing the road is a significant one... so... Pennine Way?

Not a famous footpath, but there is something about it that makes it easier to spot on a map!

(You can see it on a 1:50,000 OS map, but it is easier to spot on the 1:25,000 map. OSM shows the feature clearly too, but that doesn't show the other useful information about the road.)

Look like path splits in two based on signs. Then one certainly looks like it climbs onto the ridge. The ridge looks like it’s seen mining before hand. Footpath signs appear to be to two words. If it was mid Wales the words would be llwybr cyhoeddus. Hmmmm

Edit but no Araf on the road.

Yes, that is what I was getting at - one footpath to the left, which splits into two on the right.

There WAS something painted on the road but I used my magic photo 'healing' tool to erase it. (It was only the ID of the road.)

 

[ColinJ]

I'll give you another clue. If the Street View car had been up there on a sunny summer day, the shadow from the footpaths sign on the right would be pointing roughly towards the one across the road.

Actually on the road ? or a Google addition ?
