Game: Name that road!

[ColinJ]

That definitely looks findable! I will search for it tonight if nobody else has found it by then.

Which one are we looking for or is it both @Aravis ?

 

[Dogtrousers]

I thought that. (I was wrong)

 

[ColinJ]

I think that they are the same road!

Yes, I think no.2 shows the lowland area that is just visible in the distance on no.1.

I have my own favourite theory on which river approaching which estuary, and even which meanders, but so far can't find anywhere that fits.

I'm thinking the Wye, but haven't been able to find where yet.

It could be the Severn too. The issue I'm having is finding an appropriate part of either river without much more woods than in the photos.

the Severn

Looks like that to me.

 

[ColinJ]

I may have found it but am about to go dog walking and then out for a curry!

I will check later and report back...

 

[ColinJ]

Tell you what... I have guests so I might not have time tonight. I will tell you what I just spotted so you can search there instead!

I was reading this BBC report on flooding and saw a photograph of the river Conwy which looked very similar. Scroll down to the update at 15:39!

Similar, but too much hill I think. I can't find anywhere in the Conwy valley with as much plain around the river as there seems to be in his photo.

Guests have now departed so I'll have a look, though you are probably right.

Viewing on a phone screen isn't as clear as using my laptop!

 

[MontyVeda]

Looks like that to me.

I thought the Severn too, it looks quite broad so maybe getting on toward the estuary... but gave up after going up and down it several times, which led me to believe it isn't the Severn. Other than that, clueless.

 

[Aravis]

This all makes me think you need a clue, which I find surprising as I thought the general location would be fairly easy to deduce. I actually rode this road for the first time ever on Saturday. I don't think I've uploaded anything anywhere that will help you directly, but taking into account my lack of activity these days, this should give you a pretty good steer.

If you think you've looked along the whole length of a particular river, maybe consider again where it starts and finishes?

 

[ColinJ]

I think that I have found the road. I'm just looking for either of the exact positions...

 

[Aravis]

I don't wish to be unduly pessimistic, but it's a short road and if you're looking at the right one I think you'd've found the right view by now.
