Game: Name that road!

[GuyBoden]

it's not that one either.

Who'd have thought there we so many places to ski in the northwest of England? ...and my road is miles away from the nearest one.

No shadows in my picture either, so you won't be able to suss out which way the road is headed... but if it's any help, I'm headed toward a place i can ski, and away from a place i can ice skate

I didn't know Pendle had a ski club either.

They only meet once every 10 years

If you come on some of our rides out there you might see it! It is just below the Nick o' Pendle.

I think you're all getting distracted looking for ski clubs. Who mentioned skiing anyway?

Same road, same place, different season (and 10 years previous to Google's winter visit)...

 

[MontyVeda]

So far ColinJ is the closest. At least he's in the right county

So I shouldn't spend hours looking at water-skiing locations... ah well, busy with work anyway.

I figured this would have gone long before now. If you don't know where to look, use a relatively new stretch of road as a guide.

Preston New Road

ive followed a few lines of pylons, but nothing looking right

street lights, one pavement as well as pylons suggest is on edge of a town or village

Time flies when you're getting old... just checked... my 'relatively new' stretch of road actually opened in 1997

I haven't found it yet, although I found one road that looked so similar that I thought I HAD...

What astounds me though is that in my search I discovered that that are pylons near and cables over one steep little climb that I normally do 5-10 times a year and have been doing for over 20 years - I have never noticed them! I really do not like pylons so I do tend to spot them. The only thing I can think is that I am normally concentrating on getting up the hill, or trying not to break my neck if going down it!

The flat plains of Cheshire are more suitable for old blokes on bikes.

Actually, I have left it a bit late for that!
