Game: Name that road!

[GuyBoden]

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

PS HERE!

Well done @ColinJ , I thought it was near Newlands as soon as I looked at the NTR, I've been there many times. One of my fav parts of the Lake district, I was going to look closely today, but you had already found it, well done.

Here is my next one. Yet again, I worried that I might have posted it before, but a quick search of my posts in this thread didn't find it...

Name that road!

Bugger, I knew that one!

Bugger, I knew that one!

That is why I initially posted before I had found exactly where it was! I saw the distinctive view in the distance and wanted to claim the prize before someone else jumped in ahead of me.

Yebbut, by the strict rules, anyone posting the actual view before youi'd found it would have won, and I was only about 30s off finding it based on your 'rather strong hint' ;-) Admittedly, I'd most certainly have deferred to you though.

True - I got carried away by my enthusiasm!

knew it'd go quickly. The big clue was in my previous post finding SlowScot's road... the hill that looked like Saddleback. That is Saddleback in the far distance

Looks more like Cheshire than Yorkshire.

I'm in Cheshire, I don't think so. I'd guess Lancashire. Probably wrong!

I think you could be correct, I'm in Cheshire too.

And here was me thinking it looked more like Gloucestershire (though that wouldn't be local for Colin, he seems to have cycled everywhere).

Actually, I haven't - not even close to it...

I have been quite busy on the forum though. If you search through my CC posts you will see the ride I did along this road mentioned. Good luck - you only have about 46,000 posts to check!

I have noticed how many places some of you have cycled round and have been thinking that I really must visit some of the more interesting places featured in this thread before old age catches up with me...

It's a bit too soon to give you a clue. If you need one later in the week, remind me.

Yes, could be in so many parts of the country, and not even the style of local walls or buildings to go on.
Yorkshire Wolds? Lincolnshire Wolds? Wiltshire? I know Colin makes occasional forays to Warwickshire but I don't recognise it from there - though wouldn't rule it out.

I did leave the signs in to give you some help...

I will narrow it down a little bit - somewhere in the northern half of England!

the northern half of England!

Just outside Watford then
