Game: Name that road!

[ColinJ]

i assumed from the start it was cumbria / lake district, especially with fell refernce.

road may be pointing north (EDIT doh West see above) (prevailing westerley wind) and the land drops away a fair deal to the right.

still haven't found it though!

Yes, I have been beavering away with those ideas in mind but haven't spotted it yet.

I'll go and make a pot of coffee and have another go if none of you have found it by the time I return!

above Low lorton fell barrow??

or possibly Whinfell given name of nearby farm

 

[GuyBoden]

I'd say name that road but it doesn't have a name, so if you want to win name the fell instead

I'm looking at Whinfell.

I've found it, I think.

Edit: I can't find the sheep.
Edit: I've found the sheep too.
Edit: Sorry, I was so, so close.

I should have refreshed the screen, but I was trying to find the sheep. All good fun.

Pipped at the post @GuyBoden ...but a damn fine effort!

Well done @T4tomo . It is indeed Whin Fell... one of several in fact. Another is centreparks nr Penrith. There's also one near Dunsop Bridge too.

The eagle eyed amongst you may have spotted the clue in post 5,606...

...the whole sentence in very dark grey except the words 'win' and 'fell' which are clearly black

Bad luck, Guy!

I made the classic "didn't look like a road on the OS map error". I got the right area and orientation but looked at area B instead of area A on this map!

I missed the 'win' clue!

 

[T4tomo]

I missed the 'win' clue!

me too, once I'd worked out it west not north facing I was in right area, well started a bit east of there but worked across

didn't look like a road -

It didn't on street view either - looked an awful surface for climbing or descending on!

When you said, it's not in the Lancashire fells and gave a big clue, I spotted the Win and Fell, but fell at the last hurdle looking for sheep and got talking to the farmer. That's the trouble with using a virtual headset with the Google map Metaverse. Good stuff.

Hops?

Are you saying Kent then?

Hop Growers map below, so it might not be Kent.

https://www.britishhops.org.uk/growers/
"There are just over 50 British farmers growing British Hops in Great Britain today.

The South-East counties of Kent, Suffolk, Surrey and Sussex are where hops were first grown in the UK. They were shortly followed by the West Midlands, including the counties of Herefordshire and Worcestershire and today about half of the British Hop production is grown by West Midlands-based farmers and half in the South East. For a map of British Counties,"

Are you saying Kent then?

Has a general Kentish look, but doesn't ring a bell with me. Which probably means that I ride along it regularly.

 

[MontyVeda]

The 30mph limit suggests the outskirts of a village or town.

 

[T4tomo]

its in an area covered by Guy's map!
