Game: Name that road!

[Aravis]

I solved one of @Aravis 's (somewhere in Scotland with a highland cow in the picture) using Google image search and I was wracked with guilt because it felt like cheating. I will not be so squeamish in future.

At the time I'd no idea you could do that sort of thing. My fault really for nicking an image from the 'net.

In the same position I would probably have kept quiet and dazzled you all with my landscape recognition skills, which must be worse.

Is it eck cheating... it's using the available tools to solve a puzzle.
First thing i do is check the image name to see if it's called something like A6-carnforth.jpg, the second stage is a reverse image search. Step three, I kiss and hold her tight... er... I mean check to see if another poster has identified the county or a distinguishing feature, follow their lead and try to get one step ahead

What else are we supposed to do... go for a walk and expect to find the road that way?

@Venod did specifically state lake in his post, not reservoir

I don't want to be too misleading, its not a very big lake.

I have visited both cafe's in the vicinity of the pic riding from home, the bigger posher cafe is not keen on cleated shoes on the nice shiny wooden floor.

That's just a complete giveaway. Why don't you just post an OS grid reference, it's so obvious.

I'd also like to point out that its an effing brook and 2 parts of the same one, although a beck flows into it further away.

its a very pretty bridge though....

Well done @T4tomo, over to you.

In my defence it is referenced as a lake on the Cannon Hall website

https://www.cannon-hall.com/

And OS has the name Cascade for it.

It was your defence of this that is full of holes old boy!

It's not a river, but there are two becks (not brooks) that converge just West of the pic and enter the lake just East of the pic, also behind right is a large cafe often visited by cyclists and behind left a bit further up the road is a smaller cafe often visited by cyclists.

Yes but we call brooks, becks in Yorkshire, brooks is far too posh.

 

[T4tomo]

name that road

down right misleading given both terms are used on maps, I was ruling out brooks .......

Have a good easter weekend all. I will check in occasionally on progress when not out on the bike

Oh, I somehow completely missed that. I looked at the sculpture park 4 km north of there and all around, but Cawthorne didn't register with me at all...

Well done!

brooks is far too posh.

And really uncomfortable too. Like riding on a housebrick

Well done @T4tomo for finding Daking Brook, I was looking for a country house.
