Game: Name that road!

[Sea of vapours]

if i had a pound for every time you said that... I' reckon i'd have at least a tenner by now!

I'm sure a tenner is about right, but usually that's because you've just posted a road within about 30km of my house. In this case, I've not been to that place in Shetland .... ever, come to think of it, until last week.

Wow! No wonder it looked familiar. I drove down that road ten days ago. Weird. Not the largest or busiest A road in the UK, that.

Well done! If you look carefully in my sunset picture you can just make out our motorhome by the shore. I was on the bike when I took this, at about 10.30pm.

Not a Scottish island:

... I was there yesterday ...

Gaarrghhhh...... ! I cycled by the end of that about a week ago ...

... I'd cycled along there about five hours before seeing the photo

Ahhhh...... Well I've only been down there, in that direction, twice this year so far (one of which was just eight days ago). ...

Gaarrgghhh - i have just driven past that an hour ago before seeing this !

"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. ...

plus today's Shetland find.... £7

I thought this would be relatively easy, but perhaps not.

Not only is it not a Scottish island, but it's not Scotland at all. England in fact, and not the West Country. That narrows it down a fair bit.

Oh, I forgot about this one. I will take a look later if nobody beats me to it.

I will look in some obvious places. I may have to disqualify myself though if it turns out to be one of them...

having exhausted my search of the Dales and Bowland... I'm finding the North Yorks Moors look a little more like the area, but there's an awful lot of them

I haven't looked for this one, but South Lakes sprung to mind but don't know why.

And then I forgot that too!

I was looking in Northumberland above Wooler, but no match so far

Interesting selection of plausible search areas there. I noted Northumberland, South Lakes, Yorkshire Dales, Forest of Bowland and the North York Moors. It certainly does look as if it could be in any of those. It is, however, not. I'm pretty sure I mentioned Scotland under 'not' earlier too.

 

[ColinJ]

I have been distracted, and will be tomorrow in the daytime too. If it is still going tomorrow evening, I will have another look where I had been looking before...

 

[Sea of vapours]

Still distracted, everyone ?!

Somewhere between Manchester and Sheffield.

Sorry - in my case, yes!

Currently, listening to THIS on headphones and testing my puzzle game. My laptop has a broken left speaker so I hadn't noticed that my game sounds only come out of the right channel. (It's the first time that I have played the games on headphones.)

Anyway... I just went back and looked where I was going to look and found it. BUT I was working with insider knowledge, so I will do the honourable thing and pass this time!

PS That was one road that I didn't cycle on - I like the look of it! A much nicer alternative to the A-road that I used.
