I rode around there last summer and it immediately looked familiar.

Damn you're good.

I don't think it's Johnson there but I know Truss visited last year and won support from the local Tory party. Christ knows how.

just for comparison, this is a photo I took on my mini-tour in 2022 from the end of the road there - you can see from the sands and the coast outline why it looked familiar

NB THIS IS NOT THE NEXT NAME THAT ROAD PICTURE - that will come shortly

Nice NTR, looks a bit like a Derbyshire moor road near the Cat'n'Fiddle pub.

No, not there but if I said it was on a moor in the Pennines I wouldn't be giving too much away.
Do you see a junction with a bigger road in the distance?

Windle Edge (on the Trans Pennine Trail)?

Well done @ColinJ, Windle Edge looking towards the junction with the A628 Woodhead route (Sheffield left, Manchester right).

I am a bit busy rejigging the layout of my room in preparation for the arrival tomorrow of a bigger TV set. I will try to come up with a mystery road later this evening once I actually have somewhere to sit with my laptop!

 

[ColinJ]

Okay, I have a sofa to sit on again!

Here's a road...

Clue #1: Even if you haven't ridden on this road, you may very well have seen it before!

Name That Road!

Anglezarke reservoir

A murder victim was dumped there weren't they, or was you clue alluding to something else.

Well done.

I didn't know about the murder victim! I was referring to the 2002 Commonwealth Games road races. The reservoir road was on the circuit.

I went to watch the women's race with a pal. We were standing by the nasty lefthand bend at the foot of the fast descent of nearby Sheep House Lane as the riders did their last lap. Young Welsh rider Nicole dramatically overCooke-d it and had a close encounter of the dry stone wall kind! She was gapped by the other lead riders but managed to chase back on and win the race!

Over to you!

Ahh -recent then ! I've definitely watched her win a gold medal - may have been her Olympic one though.
