Game: Name that road!

[ColinJ]

I'm going to take a break!

I have been looking at some lovely roads in the Lakes, but either the wrong ones, or missing the exact view by just enough to confuse me... (easily done!)

 

[Venod]

Coast to Coast ride looking West towards Blencathra ? about 11am.

Coast to Coast ride looking East towards Blencathra ? about 11am.

Good effort, but you're a little out on the time. I won't say the precise time since that would pinpoint the location.

Blencathra is indeed east-ish of this point. Hang on.... there's that mirror thing again. She's heading eastward !

 

[Venod]

She's heading eastward

Yes, I meant to put west (post edited) its all very confusing.

Right I’m back from my outing. I think we are looking at this, but the exact view is proving elusive. This is indeed near Blencathra

 

[Sea of vapours]

I think we are looking at this,

I think so too. I do not 100% guarantee that that's it as there are a fair few, similar pointy things. If you care to name that hill I'll confirm it, but I've just looked at the appropriate Streetview image (zoomed a fair bit) and it looks right to me.

I'm back too, the race is on....................

 

[ColinJ]

It must be one of the roads that I have looked at over and over again!

I trust you're all looking at a singularly linear and continuous set of roads based on the huge bit of direction above.

 

[Ming the Merciless]

I’m wondering if the road is further away from the peak than I think. Hence not finding the view.

You could just download the gpx file and follow the route.

Having spent 2 days doing that - good luck!

At this rate, I'm going to post a photo of the same view, a few seconds later, but not in the wing mirror. Anyone object?

In the meantime, I'll reiterate that @Venod 's time was not out by much, and that the estimate was later than the time the photo was actually taken.

What gpx?

I'll give it an hour then I'll post a clearer photo if no-one objects strongly. In the meantime, the above will level the playing field a bit.
