Edit. Woo things have moved on while I've been riding my bike

This is Cheshire and was used as part of what was called the Milk Race.

Did @Ming the Merciless know where it was all along?

Might have done 😒 Didn’t have time to be posting one of my pictures, so threw out a random like the Wolds. Just got in, having been out since early this morning.

I wish I'd driven past it... bike was fully laden with camping gear and the tourist map i had showed no gradients; just roads and lakes so the climb from Bowland Bridge to the top of Fell Foot Brow was somewhat unexpected

Apart from knowing it's in Cheshire and was part of a Milk Race route. I really don't know where to start. i'm guessing it's two B roads?
Google's not delivering any detailed Milk Race routes and its genius engine thinks i'm an old duffer who really wants Tour of Britain routes so gives me more of the latter than the former and.... can we have a clue please?

 

[GuyBoden]

Search the roads of Mara and Mondrem.

Edit: The Tour of Britain was formerly known as The Milk Race. Hence "used as part of what was called the Milk Race.", yes, the name is still used by old duffers.

is it brines brow lane?

street view isn't convincing...

but the aerial view looks bang on though...

especially the garden of the big house.

Well done, I took my photo on my Friday ride. Over to you.

Edit: I see they have cut the trees down since the streetview photo.

That was frustrating... found it on the areal view and thought yes, that's it, zoomed into street view and thought, nah, that's not it, clicked the back button and my sodding browser took me back to Nantwich! Took me ages to find the crossroads again!

Brines Brow Lane is on the annual @ColinJ Cheshire ride and was on stage five of the 2019 Tour of Britain.

All good fun.
