Game: Name that road!

[slow scot]

I must apologise. I did have a photo to post, but somehow or other only half the picture appears when I try to post it. It was rather a nice one too!!
So I’ll have to back out and let someone else post.

Hi. I think I now have the photo, or most of it.

Ooh I've been there... but never cycled there.

I'm guessing somewhere on the Surrey/Sussex border?

I think that's Box Hill in the background

It's well worth it Colin. Once you're at Chester you've got the whole N Wales coast railway line too, which runs by the sea and is worth doing for its own sake.

The railway line was great last time I went... It was the trains that were the problem! Massively overcrowded and we struggled to get our bikes on...

The Lecht?

That's one that I would have got instantly. A friend had an almost identical photo on his kitchen wall and I remember asking him where it was taken.

The line down through the Welsh Borders (Shrewsbury/Church Stretton/Abergavenny) is also excellent for access to Wales and when I've used it never busy.

I'm certain I've got the right road, but can't for the life of me find the exact spot with the passing place on the left

edit... Got it!

the mountain on the left looks a lot like Saddleback in the Lakes... which reminded me i had that same thought on a trip to Eriskay in the Outer Hebrides.

Well spotted. It’s the small dead end road leading down to Loch Sgioport on South Uist. It’s one of the nicest 6 or 7 kilometres I’ve ever ridden in Scotland.
For a clue I was going to add that the hill on the left might yell abuse at you as you ride past. It’s called “Hecla”.

It’s called “Hecla”.

Blimey, good visibility up in the Hebrides...

I have to say it for your benefit .... I rode down that road in June. I thought it looked familiar :-)

Too small on my phone. I will have a look on my laptop later if it is still 'live'.

I honestly thought that road of mine was going to take a while. What do I know!!!

I found the road (from Buttermere, towards Keswick) and am now searching for the exact spot!
