Game: Name that road!

[Aravis]

Is it Wales?

Yes.

Ok, my question then... Are those 3 objects in the distance to the right of the road wind turbines?

Yes.

17 questions left.

Last question...

Is THIS it?!

 

[GuyBoden]

I knew it was Wales, but I was looking further North. Well done @ColinJ

Well done @ColinJ , I was looking a few miles north of this, thinking we were seeing the northern ridge of the Brecon Beacons/Black Mountains range, but in fact it's on the south side of these, looking at the next ridge south of that

 

[ColinJ]

I thought it looked at an elevation of 350-400-ish m, heading SW-ish (from the shadows). 'Obscure' = narrow yellow road on OS map. No walls or fences = dashed sidelines on OS map.

Once I knew it was Wales, I thought south rather than north. I just panned around the OS map looking for such a road. My map doesn't show the windfarm though.

 

[ColinJ]

Ok, here's my next one. Usual disclaimer... I thought that I had used it before but couldn't find it when I checked.

There are 4 obvious clues in the picture...

Name That Road!

 

[ColinJ]

Make that 5!

 

[Aravis]

Last question...

Is THIS it?!

Just to complete the formalities...

Yes.

I was a bit surprised that "obscure" attracted so much attention. I regard this as a road which will get ignored by most cyclists passing nearby. I know I've ridden it in both directions, but it's a bit out of range for a day ride from Bristol and I can't remember what the circumstances were.

Your turn Colin. Oh look you've already posted it. Can't find a yellow card emoji.

 

[Aravis]

Is it Yorkshire?

 

[ColinJ]

Is it Yorkshire?

I haven't enabled 20 questions mode yet...

I tell you what, it might not be popular, but I'll post the annotated picture which shows you what I consider to be important clues!

I think that should be enough, but if I have to spoonfeed y'all, I will list the meanings of the clues later!

 

[MontyVeda]

Doesn't the satellite dish also give a clue as to which way is north?

Got it...Redring Road!

 

[Venod]

It's Doghouse Lane Todmorden, but I am having difficulty pulling an image up on this tablet.

Here is another easy one.

 

[ColinJ]

I didn't even notice that!

I accidentally left part of the Street View compass in bottom right, which would give some indication as to which directions we definitely were NOT facing.

The clues were:

1. Footpath off to left.
2. STEEP road!
3. Dry stone wall made of millstone grit (strong hint of YORKSHIRE!)
4. Distant hillside.
5. Partial compass suggests NOT easterly/westerly.

It's Doghouse Lane Todmorden, but I am having difficulty pulling an image up on this tablet.

Well done!

Did you know it, find it from the clues, or just have a look around Todmorden for that kind of thing?
