Game: Name that road!

[ColinJ]

I didn't think that it would take long!

I have posted pictures from other sections of the road in this thread before. It is one of my favourite local roads, forming part of one of my favourite loops. A loop which is scenic, challenging, and generally does not have much traffic.

Over to you - again!

 

[Aravis]

Thank you Colin.

It shouldn't be too hard to identify the road in the next picture with a fair degree of certainty. The winner will be the person who finds the bridge, which is the only place where the shapes of the hills properly match:

 

[Aravis]

Is it giving you a torrid time? A bit of clarity needed!

It looks a wee bit like the back road up from the Clachaig pub in Glencoe.
But my guesses of recent times have been awful. It’s probably in Somerset!!

 

[Dogtrousers]

Is it giving you a torrid time? A bit of clarity needed!

Torridon worth a go? I don't have time right now.

 

[ColinJ]

Torridon worth a go? I don't have time right now.

The clues were a bit obvious this time!

No doubt someone will get there 10 milliseconds before me, but I'll adjourn to Street View now...

 

[ColinJ]

Well, I definitely have the road, but finding the exact spot is a bit more tricky...

 

[ColinJ]

Here?

 

[T4tomo]

or here? - bridge has been remodelled since the original photo in 1876

@ColinJ has it - AGAIN!!!!!

When I first looked at the picture I was surprised how far up the glen I had to go before everything lined up completely. "Clarity" was meant to suggest looking near Loch Clair. Too obvious? This is so hard to get right!

Having said you had to identify the bridge to win, I think you could assume it would look the same as it did in 1965.

 

[ColinJ]

Yay!

Ok... I thought that I had done this one before but a quick search of the thread did not find it.

Name That Road! (Actually, I don't know its name... Number that road!)

 

[MontyVeda]

this one's perplexing me.

unfenced road, rocky outcrops, solitary building... all should stand out on an OS map. It's clearly at some elevation but I must be looking in the completely the wrong place. Maybe i should go to where Colin visits rather than where he lives.

 

[ColinJ]

It was on a visit!

There is something obvious on the far left.

I think you can probably just about make out the prevailing wind direction from the trees by the house. It was fairly obvious before I cropped and resized the picture. Hang on, I'll give you a clearer picture...

 

[MontyVeda]

If I'd noticed the sea sooner I'd have spent far fewer days looking at Yorkshire

 

[GuyBoden]

With no drystone walls I knew it probably wasn't Yorkshire, so I looked at Devon, which obviously has two coastlines, but the wind is coming from the west.

Edit: I've still not found the NTR, how hard can it be to find a road with centre white lines on the coast of Devon with a prevailing west wind.
