Game: Name that road!

[T4tomo]

It’s shown on maps and there fire might be another clue for narrowing it down.

No fire, but if you can find a pitchfork, you're getting close....

For me, that clue indicates West Country. Between Lyme Regis & Sedgemoor, or from there towards Keynsham.

Got it - Missenden Rd - back end of Chequers!

It was the first area I looked at yesterday, but I only looked at the main entrance.

Well done @ColinJ
The pitchfork is the main drive in Chequers grounds..

Surprised it took so long when @GuyBoden correctly guessed it could be something on the Hemel Hillbuster route, which indeed it was.
The shot of the main gates failed the google lens test! the curious might have wondered why there were no parking cones up too, assume the google car went thru when a gathering/ meeting was on down there.

I didn't need to resort to a give away clue of something on the the lines of you May get there by Boris bike.

Well done Colin. I did have a gander around the Hillbuster route but in retrospect, clearly not all of it!
Still no idea what the black dog/white house clue was all about though, unless it's just a vague reference to the black/white checker board?

Now that I would have recognised. Used to do a mtn bike bluebell route that used that bit of road before diving back into the woods.

Is the black dog reference an allusion to Churchill's characterisation of his depression, or more literal?

No I was simply being irreverent and continuing the 20 questions theme that had developed, the white house I was referring to was the one in the picture

Here is my next one. I have included enough in the picture for it to be instant recognition for those in the know, or relatively easy to find for those who aren't. Fastest finger first...

Name That Road!

 

[Dogtrousers]

Is that a mast that has been angled by distortion up in the top right. Or yet another gigantic giraffe?

Tornado? That would be quite rare.

Yes. A clue carefully included in the picture, but at that scale/angle, the Streetview camera picture was giving a fish-eye lens effect. The mast IS vertical!

 

[Buck]

That's Emley Mast and I would say Digley Reservoir
edit: Here it is Fieldhead Lane - just down t'hill from me

Ha ha - you saved me giving my clue...

"I was sure that someone would get it quickly - I'd have bet a Buck on it!"

(With reference to this post.)

Over to you...

 

[Buck]

It's amazing when you instantly recognise somewhere and that clue would most likely have given he game away.

No doubt mine will not last too long either! Give me 5!
