Game: Name that road!

[MontyVeda]

And I've been busy hoovering and washing my hair

 

[GuyBoden]

I thought that the silhouette might be the Cheviot Hills, but I couldn't find any Tower.

 

[Ming the Merciless]

Ha, just looked back in here. I think I recognise some of the features there, now to find a matching road

 

[GuyBoden]

I'm wondering if it is a Tower or is it another mast?

 

[Ming the Merciless]

Hmm it’s close but I don’t think it’s where I was thinking.

I've tracked it down - it's this, so not much help.

The significant notch in the nearest of the distant hills is a famous named pass which has featured in this thread more than once. 📖

I'm hoping that the "famous named pass" is the Gospel Pass.

Well, I might need to Pass on this one because I am too tired this evening and I think one of you will get it before I check back in!

Well, earlier I highlighted the word "truth", and used an emoji than looks very much like an open bible.

The Gospel Pass is in the Black Mountains. If you can find another group of hills to the west which make sense of the "singular" hint, I think you could be onto something.

A roundabout way of saying "very warm indeed".

after Aravis had to, for all intents and purposes, more or less hold up a map and point directly to it... i think I've finally found it!

Here!

Well done, I thought it was that road yesterday, the vegetation was the same, but I didn't find the exact spot or didn't have time to find the exact spot. Perseverance was needed.

Well done

Thanks Guy. You got nearest i think before Aravis practically gave it away, so I'll hand the next one over to you if you want to take it

Thanks, but I'll have to decline your very kind offer as I'm too busy at the moment.

me too so let's throw it open.

first come come, first served... post that road!

 

[Aravis]

Well done @MontyVeda. That went well didn't it!

I don't think I completely gave it away. It still had to be found, and I imagine that the feature on the hill in the mid-distance - The Roundabout - was useful.

It's well worth studying the area on Ordnance Survey. There are loads of sensational roads to explore. There was a fine Youth Hostel at Glascwm in the 1980s - one of many sadly now lost.

Something I hadn't spotted before is what looks like a great off-road route heading eastwards from Rhulen just north from my picture, past the intriguingly named Doctor's Pool. Now that I have my electric gravel bike...
