Game: Name that road!

[iandg]

Well done @MontyVeda It is the A858 heading toward Achmore. It's part of the Hebridean Way between Leurbost and Callanish.

As shown by your hyperlink the Eitsal masts are very faint in Google Street View.

A858 originally ran from Stornoway to Achmore (following the single track road over the moor) then onto Callanish and up the west coast to Barvas. The road between Leurbost and Achmore has been upgraded at some time (before I moved there) and is now the main road to the west side and Callanish.

Over to you

Thank you @iandg.

Hopefully this one will take just as long...

name that road! (although, it does appear to be nameless)

I'm so glad I've broken my addiction to trying to solve these. I can enjoy the pictures while others suffer.

I would like to have a go at this one but I have a guest coming over and need to shop and cook before then...

If it is still unidentified at midnight I will get to work then!

My eyes grow dim. I can't read the signpost. Any chance of a close up

National cycle route, and is that a picture of a tank? Is the red sign a potential tank crossing or exiting point? Is it in and around Salisbury ranges?

Well spotted re the NCR.

I believe it's a 'site entrance' sign for a pipeline approximately 259 miles away from Salisbury.

I believe it's a 'site entrance' sign for a pipeline approximately 250 miles away from Salisbury.

I’ve narrowed it down then 😂

 

[ColinJ]

I know (already knew!) what I am looking for but I haven't managed to spot the place yet!

What I can say is that when you have 2 windows open, one containing the original photo, and one showing a possible location in Street View, don't get distracted by a phone call... I forgot which one I was looking at and thought "Wow, that definitely IS the location - it looks like I have found exactly the right spot first time!!"

 

[MontyVeda]

with the info given it's spottable from satellite view

Well done - that saves my sanity!

I had convinced myself that it was in the Ribble Valley somewhere rather than @MontyVeda's old stomping ground - Cumbria. That explains why I didn't know it.

Well done @Marchrider.

Did you recognise the area or follow the clues?

Either way, over to you.


EDIT... for anyone interested, my road was part of a 15 mile on/off road route out of Cockermouth, initially following NCR 10 then heading south and back via some lovely bridleways, an actual stream bed at Lingleybank, the woods by the river and up to Watch Hill and a final fast decent on grass...

Since this will not be a well ridden road I will also give a clue, (there is certainly a possibility) this could be literally the road "To the Back of Beyond" and it felt like it today
