Game: Name that road!

[GuyBoden]

Been looking in Yorkshire Wolds but can’t find match. Too many roads hedge lined.

Totally agree, there are a lot of hedges obscuring the view of the water.

If it's of any help the Brook mentioned above is on this page.

Another clue.

The village at the end of the lake could have been mistaken for "Blair Witch" a long time ago.

Hovering over the photo shows "NTR.jpg". A quick google of "NTR cycling" pulls up North Tyneside Riders cycling club...hmmmm

I'll assume you're not joking and point out that it also works for Name That Road

I have inside information, it stands for Name That Road.

But, I can confirm the picture is South of Tyneside and the brook that flows into and out of the lake eventually joins a river that flows into the North Sea.

The village at the end of the lake is mentioned in The Domesday Book, the last village I came through before going in the direction of the picture could be a royal geographical feature.

Extract from Google Maps.

Ha ha. I have been playing around with the 3D map viewer in my Memory Map software. It can give a good idea how hilly (or flat!) an area is.

It's most impressive. I've often pondered whether to get Memory Map as another toy with which to waste my time

It used to be an affordable way of buying Britain-wide OS mapping but they have now switched to a subscription model.

These days you could opt for a direct OS subscription - £23.99 HERE. (I think it is £5 more if you want the Explorer mapping as well as the Landranger scale.)

You can also get OS maps on cycle.travel if you sign up as a supporter for £2/month HERE.

Brook is a regional term which will narrow it down.

I didn't know that, what region ? so I confirm if it's correct.

Yorkshire folk tend to use 'beck' don't they/you?

PS I just saw a suggestion that a beck is a brook with a stony bed. I wasn't aware of that distinction.

Yes you are right, beck is popular in Yorkshire, and on the list of rivers I posted earlier, there seems to be more Becks listed in Yorkshire than in the area of the pic which has more brooks.

I used to know a bloke called Brooks ... he was from Aylesbury.

We need to move this on now.

Aylesbury is about 65 mile from the picture, here is another picture looking the other way from the other end of the lake.
