Game: Name that road!

[MontyVeda]

Three fat ladies? 888?
the B888 is on South Uist but nothing like the above
the A888 is Barra. Again. I cant see anything like that there.
(The vegitation is more lush in the above and all the roads have a solid white line at each edge for example in the street views i see)

which suggests that 888 mightn't be a road, or even a route.

Strangely, i am on the A888. That photo is emphatically *not* of it !

 

[ColinJ]

I probably won't have enough time to spot it.

I thought one of the big hills in the distance looks like Pendle Hill, but then I thought Three Peaks? (Three fat ladies?)

As for unravelling... knots, Knotts, Bowland Knotts, Knott Hill?

 

[MontyVeda]

'unravelling' isn't a clue.

As for SoV being on the A888... now that is a coincidence... coz he's also on the 888 that I'm hinting at

This one should be easy, especially if you've been following this thread from the start for a couple of years.

I can't believe nobody's got it yet. It took less than ten minutes last time

So, if we look at post #888 in this thread,
https://www.cyclechat.net/threads/game-name-that-road.227817/post-6110365

we get directed by SoV to

Turnaround and we have:-

Which I believe is the correct spot?

"Oh no; not again". I cycled along there about a week ago. And when I say a week, I mean last Tuesday afternoon, though in the 'wrong' direction.

Hmph.

Hmph.

I spent a week in a caravan at Silverdale aged 10, but i'm not kicking myself as hard

 

[Sea of vapours]

That is still a very amusing coincidence indeed, my post number 888 being the reference and my being on the A888 - in fact the B888 now. The latter is *not* normal !

Well done Buck. I've been hinting at it from that start.

I last posted this road in august 2020

I can't believe nobody's got it yet. It took less than ten minutes last time

it took SoV less than ten minutes to find it the last time

Did this ever happen Aravis?

This quoted a post from Aravis that was on the same page as posts #887 and #888

I also chose an older street view image as that was the only one with Ingleborough visible on the horizon... which i figured would be instantly recognised due to its iconic shape. The road itself is best cycled from Silverdale to Arnside rather than the other way because the view towards Ingleborough really is spectacular on a clear day, and being uphill, you get plenty of time to enjoy it

Your turn @Buck

Thanks Monty - your clues led me to the road rather than any knowledge of the area!

This is from Google maps as my photograph of this is not as clear.

broom house lane East BArnby

Its actually a double ford or a crossroad situation

 

[Buck]

I had an inkling you may get this as it’s in your neck of the woods!

Well done and over to you.

 

[T4tomo]

yes close to my old stomping ground.

here's the next one

 

[Aravis]

Here it is: the B488 heading north-west towards Ivinghoe:
