Game: Name that road!

[ColinJ]

I didn't look for the previous one because I have been distracted by other things...

SoV found Monty's latest exactly where I would have looked. I used to do it once or twice a year but I don't remember riding there since the year before Covid came along. I must try to get out there again this summer.

I knew it'd be one of you two

Lovely road, lovely view, lovely downhill just after those trees... but don't forget about the cattle grid!

@Sea of vapours ...if it's obvious it's the same road, then by all means post without confirmation

 

[Sea of vapours]

I'm not entirely convinced that I've ever gone along that road in that direction. Certainly, I far more commonly go the other way, or 'anti-clockwise around the Forest of Bowland'.

Here's the next one then. I shall curse it by suggesting that it won't go as quickly as the last one ...

My vote is for a Scottish island that I have never been to and would therefore never recognise!

There are probably only a few thousand kms of Scottish island roads, so somebody will probably have found it by the time I get round to it.

I am busy today but will have a look in again later to see if it has been found.

 

[MontyVeda]

I've been hopefully scooting around the Cairngorms, but I've run out of yellow dashed roads to follow.

my first though too....

 

[Sea of vapours]

I'll give you 'Yes, Scotland', but I'm not narrowing it down beyond that for a while.

Also. N.B. The camera stuck on the roof of the Streetview car is a lot higher than the viewpoint of the photographer who took the image above, which means that there are a couple of small, low buildings just visible on the near horizon, a little to the right of the road, in the Streetview image.

I maybe, possibly, not sure really, that I have found the exact location, so I'll wait until we have a Google Street view pic to confirm my finding.

Ummmm..... If everyone decided to wait 'ti someone else had posted the right place the game would be .... a little stagnant !

post it and be judged....

I dont think SoV meant we has about to post the street view, just alerting you / us to its different angle...

you don't have to reveal the location and risk that dastardly Monty stealing it with a more exact match... just post the image and SoV will let you know if it's correct or not, then you can stick links in if it is Obviously if it's clearly not correct, we'll all be jumping in and saying how very wrong you are

 

[Sea of vapours]

In this case, 'exact' match is a relative term. With the lack of foreground detail there is at least a several hundred mete section of road which looks about right and it all depends on how much the Streetview is zoomed.

Should anyone find this helpful: the image above is with a 30mm lens, in 35mm terms, so a little wider than 'normal vision'. The Streetview shot is vastly wider of course.

 

[Sea of vapours]

Over 48 hours now, so here's a clue which narrows this down somewhat, bearing in mind that we already have 'Scotland'.

The photo was taken on a road which, at that point, is both a long distance walking route and a long distance cycling route.

Could be the Hebridean Way on South Uist. Can’t be any more specific I’m afraid.

When I first saw it I thought South Uist, I have ridden the road on the turbo and it looked familiar, but I have had a quick look on Streetview and can't match it.
