Game: Name that road!

[Sea of vapours]

A very well thought out one @MontyVeda

Here's an actual photograph I took recently, for a change. I'm told , by its subject, that it will be easy.

Name that road.

 

[MontyVeda]

who's trixibelle?

That's a pointy peak. Doesn't look like the Dales but i could be wrong

 

[GuyBoden]

Lake District probably, the white cottages and high fells.

Edit: He has been to the Kirkstone pass on the Lunacy Challenge.

My partner's pseudonym (exclusively when cycling).

I was looking round there; brotherswater area is a good contender the the pointy peaks but the road is wrong

 

[ColinJ]

I think that I might have accidentally found the peaks from the wrong road!

I'll pull back to another one...

 

[MontyVeda]

Is anyone else trying to identify the make and model of car too?

 

[ColinJ]

I'm still trying to work out the references to trixibelle!

As for similar peaks... There are quite a lot of them!

 

[GuyBoden]

Looks like Blencathra to my eyes, but I've been looking at it for over an hour.

Edit: Wrong again.

 

[MontyVeda]

I'm 99% certain it's not Blencathra.

Trixibelle is SoV's nickname for the person on the bike in the photo, I believe.

the pointy peaks

I can't make my mind up if the are pointy peaks, or if its cloud making them look that way.
I need a clue.

 

[GuyBoden]

Yes, half the fell is covered in cloud, that's the problem.

I'm looking for a steep road, with no yellow lines, coming from the direction of a high fell, which has a small hamlet of small white cottages at it's foot. In the lake district, where there's loads.

Edit: But, no lake to be seen, which might be a good clue. A valley, with no lake. All good fun.

I confirm that the peak is pointy, or the main peak is anyway. There is some distortion at the edge of the wing mirror, but the main peak is certainly identifiable given that degree of cloud cover.

Much of @GuyBoden 's assesssment is correct, but not all.

And here's a crop of the image to help with any resolution issues from the forum upload.

 

[ColinJ]

I assume that there are Street View pictures of the same road?

You don't have to show them, but we do need to be able to check. I went to look at a couple of places but there were gaps in the SV coverage.

There are, yes. You need to zoom in to the default Streetview view a bit, since the photo is taken with a long-ish lens into a mirror, but it''s certainly recognisable.

I will add that I took the photo on Sunday morning and that precisely where Trixibelle Poodleicious was throughout Sunday is publicly available data.
