All we need to do is work out Mr Celine's route on the 2nd June 2019
And probably at 15:47 on that day

absolutely... with your help on the precise time, i reckon it's right about here. Can't see an actual name for the road though @Mr Celine.

Drat, drat and double drat. Obviously forgot to rename my photo.
60 miles upstream from the last NTR. For fans of invisible iron age forts there's one behind and to the left.

Tempting as it might be, I'm not sure its worth the diversion from Innerleithin in May, for a pair of invisible forts.

Don't worry... the date was no help. Reverse image search led me here, which was also no help until i got 'skinny tweed' from the image name, which after filtering through several dozen pairs of trousers turns out to be a race or route or something? Anyway, that lead to the area around Peebles and the Tweed valley looking for that distinctive area of woodland

Plenty of clues in this one...

I thought I had a stalker! That photo was taken on a ride home from Quothquhan, where I'd gone as part of the ABC villages challenge, so I wouldn't be surprised if I'd left a trace on that thread or on 'your ride today'.

I'll be up that way in a couple of weeks, to see my daughter and her family in Cardrona.
But I won't have the bike with me.

So... the road is running west-east across the photo, there's a ford just to the north yet it doesn't appear to be clearly marked on Bing's OS map. The white building on the right is a public house, also not marked as such on Bing's OS map. A railway used to run through the village until Beeching axed it, but one thing you might see is red squirrels, but they won't be marked on a map either

Red squirrel distribution in 2010, so it should be in one of the red or orange areas.So... the road is running west-east across the photo, there's a ford just to the north yet it doesn't appear to be clearly marked on Bing's OS map.

I haven't got further than that.

So the map looks roughly like this now. I've also put an X on (or near ... hopefully) Lancaster (the little city) which is often helpful for @MontyVeda NTRsit'll be in or around one of the red areas... and i've not cycled in Scotland or Northern Ireland
I'll probably get death threats now from people whose villages I've mistakenly put on the wrong side of my hastily drawn borders. Hey - it's an Imperialist habit, I can't help it.

I like your thinking and you're on the right track. However if you check back though my NTR entries, I've not always lived in Lancaster

Look the red squirrels have drawn a smiley face in the middle of Ireland

These signs are in English only, so that rules out the small pockets of red-squirreldom in Wales.
My money is on Cumbria somewhere.
