Game: Name that road!

[MontyVeda]

Well done!

did you recognise it or just find it?

 

[ColinJ]

Drat! That looked vaguely familiar and I was about to switch to the laptop for a bigger picture... 'Over' was a huge clue!

 

[MontyVeda]

I'm just waiting for @Sea of vapours to say, drat i rode past there yesterday!

 

[Ming the Merciless]

I remembered @Ming the Merciless mentioning twin masts near Royston on a hunt a few months back too, and know the meridian runs pretty much up that way and it looked that sort of countryside

You’re right one of the masts has featured on NTR before. Incidentally it was the road that comes up from Royston that time.

 

[Venod]

No never been there, searched Google images and it wasn't there but there was a lot of village greens with daffodils, exploring a few I found it.
I am out with the grandchildren at Pontefract Castle, so will have a think on the next one.

I wouldn't have this time - still near the A888 - though I recognised it immediately, which is novel in itself

At least I was searching in the right area this time.

I've recently ridden in Cumbria, County Durham and Northumbria so had an idea.

That looks like a racehorse gallops for training, so probably a well known Yorkshire stables. Nice

Correct of course

I rode this way last Saturday before descending Sutton Bank and into the woods below the White Horse.

Over to you.

Masts seem to feature very heavily in this thread recently... this is the view the other way along Venod's road...

I knew it was a Racehorse Gallop as soon as I looked at it, so I gave all the information that was needed to find the location in my post about Gallops and a well known Yorkshire stable. I think people are too busy at the moment.

Yes, I saw the mast, I'm pleased that wasn't the view @Venod used, too many mast recently.
