[lazybloke]

The Viewpont is from Uig and the wobbly road is called Conon Road. I have been to Uig, twice. there and back

Well that's flippin' annoying, I had the exact spot very quickly but the google image is not only very fuzzy but is missing this very distinctive landmark, so I looked elsewhere.

You're more than welcome to take the next go @lazybloke. I've had a lot of goes recently and it does get quite time consuming

Ah, cheers - I've gone something that I can put up in a few mins.

 

[lazybloke]

I won't give any clues, as this shouldn't take long.

Name that road!

 

[MontyVeda]

... this shouldn't take long.
...

Famous last words!

I'm clueless, apart from possibly the leafy bit of Surrey, but that's only going by your location rather than the photo.

(where is Surrey?)

 

[lazybloke]

Okay, no clues yet.

Name that road!

It will only not take long if some one else on this thread lives fairly local to where the road is. If it wasn’t so low res it might be possible to get a clue by zooming in to the background.

 

[GuyBoden]

well done @Aravis!

@GuyBoden it's pretty much bang on 10km from Ski Rossendale

Wow, that snow covered road was a good find, the Google street view changes from a dry road to a snow covered road in a click. Such a short distance of snow. An excellent NTR.

The picture is cropped, but the resolution shouldn't be too bad. Checking...

Update: Okay something did go wrong there. This one's a better resolution, and a wider crop.

 

[lazybloke]

Ming, don't be blinkered!

As it's been over 24 hours, here's the full uncropped photo to better reveal time of day from the direction of the (long) shadow which I'd cropped previously.
What else did I crop, and why?

 

[MontyVeda]

the solitary turbines are the clue... but where they are I'm not sure. Knowing the direction of the road is useless without being able to narrow it down from somewhere in the UK in springtime.

no idea how accurate this renewable energy map is, but wind turbines appear thin on the ground in and around Surrey...

Its not near Surrey

 

[MontyVeda]

I gathered that

Not really that solitary though are they? Just look like farm turbines which aren’t that uncommon.

one is small and the other is far away... but not all stand alone wind turbines are marked on that renewable energy map. There's a huge one local to me that isn't on it, and it's not exactly new.
