Game: Name that road!

[Sea of vapours]

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

it's a Mini and it's pink. The poodle referenced is present too.

The long lens certainly makes it less than abundantly obvious, especially when pointed at the wing mirror. I'm still surprised at how confusing Trixibelle being on the right of the road makes it though, even to me !

Strange road name too. I didn't know it was called that either. Very nice lane

Never mind guessing a picture, Trixibelle Poodleicious' ride, coast to coast, is a such a great achievement.

Thanks. I shall pass that on to her. It very nearly equalled her cycling distance this year too, rather alarmingly !

I thought the pointy thing was Hopegill Head, but without going back there and taking a bearing on it, I'm not sure (and I'm not about to do that !).

Yes you're right, Grizedale Pike is the higher of the two and Hopegill head next to it.

Trying to control streetview on a tablet is crazy, I hope this isn't too difficult, but there are some detectives on this thread.

 

[GuyBoden]

You need to stop taking them Tablets.

Is that blue line actually real?

 

[Ming the Merciless]

I'm going to take that. It is indeed Eleventrees, but about 100m backwards (eastwards) from your location. I'm parked in the first layby near to the entrance gate for the Castlerigg Stone Circle. Here:

Over to you! (@Venod - but well done @ColinJ and @GuyBoden too).

FFS , I was in castle lane before I had to head out. Then when I returned I started looking in a different area a few miles away.

No, it's what appears on Streetview on a tablet, it doesn't make it an easier solution so I left it in.

Obviously, an interesting feature is this forest path:

 

[Ming the Merciless]

Looks like Beech trees, common in Chilterns.

Go North quite a way.

I've cycled roads on the edge of Sherwood Forest that look a bit like that...?

that switchback suggests somewhere far hillier

I've been looking around the wooded bits of the North York Moors. Certainly hilly enough, but also lots of roads to check.

Me too. I wondered about Sutton Bank but the A-road is too wide the other road too narrow.

Boltby Bank is too narrow too.
