Game: Name that road!

[Ming the Merciless]

I tell you what, if it isn't to do with Grid references I have just found a REALLY spooky coincidence!!!

I was thinking of this "What's my name!"... (Muhammed Ali angry about being called 'Cassius Clay' by his opponent)



I took some of the numbers as a grid reference (7737 and 8802) and ended up here...

I can't find the road though!

What two letter prefix did you opt for?

ST

SO is a good bet, the first one brings up stone house there is a Stonehouse South of Gloucester, but all this is a guess and I don't really understand the clue.

There was more to the clue than just the numbers...

I was thinking the letters OK but as is my norm I may be far off the mark! (Or in the North Sea!)

 

[GuyBoden]

The numbers are in my old school Log table book.

I though maybe Trig points, but of those 4 number 2 are in Campbeltown, but one in cambridgeshire and one in wales?

It's obvious isn't it? We just need to look in the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences. https://oeis.org/ Duuuh!

Goes to OEIS. Comes back not so smug after finding nothing.

I'm wondering if those who've cracked it are keeping quiet. Seriously it's not difficult and some of you are clearly almost there.

I've made a little edit to the picture post...

Well done, I looked up that road earlier. It was the "Your Ride today" pic.

Edit: I clicked passed in the other direction, it looked in such a bit state. Well done for finding it.

 

[Aravis]

Yep, well done @T4tomo. I was going to use a pic from about a mile further on which doesn't resemble one posted earlier. It has a vaguely recognisable hill, but no distinctive buildings nor the distant Cotswolds. Maybe I bottled it:

As well as the five Golden Valleys already referenced, there are at least two more, including the famous Herefordshire one, within a day's ride of here, and probably many more around the country.

Over to you @T4tomo

ah that makes more sense now, although golden valley didn't show up on the place tracked down the grid refs on. I assume it was maybe point on a ride you'd passed through and then found your ride today...

Name that road
