Devil's Beef Tub?

Devil's Beef Tub?

Exactly what I thought.

Devil's Beef Tub?

This is from Wikepedia. Very unreasonably it is rather misty on google streetview!

 

[Aravis]

I was sceptical to begin with, but there's a Youtube video below which as well as showing the Tub itself also shows the line of the hills above, and this also seems to match @YukonBoy's picture quite closely - around 48s is a good place to look. This is the best evidence I've been able to find:

So I think the picture is taken from this layby, probably looking quite a bit to the left:

I remember the Tub like this :

So yes the similarities with @YukonBoy's photo are hard to ignore

 

[robjh]

I don't think I'm jumping the gun in supposing I got that last one, @YukonBoy

Here's the next one for you all

I must get out more - I'd never heard of the 'Beef Tub'! Looks nice though...

Got to be one of the Roman roads in the borders, heading Westish.

The only one I can find with forestry both sides is A68 to Jedburgh, but no cigar.

Will keep looking...

I like your line of thinking, but no, it's not that

My immediate thought was Thetford Forest. Not so sure now, might have to try Cannock Chase.

Edit: It was the A11 between Barton Mills and Thetford I was thinking of, but that was many years ago. Streetview tells me it's now dual carriageway and not as much forest!

No, not the A11 - you're right, it's got much bigger in recent years.

Talking of streetview, these managed forestry areas can change their appearance quite a lot as trees are cut down or foliage grows, and even I have had difficulty identifying the exact spot where I took this, so any close-enough guess will do.

Devil's Beef Tub?

Yes, your turn

Yep lay-by is at top after you’ve climbed up from Moffat going north and before you begin long descent.

It's a tough one. Looks like a north/south Roman Road through a managed forest.
I can rule a few places out by flora and geography, but I can't see anything that helps narrow the search.
I've searched extensively in Cambs/Essex, and everywhere from Kielder to the Forest of Dean using Forestry Commission documents, OS maps, , satellite views, streetview and getting very creative with Google searches. No luck!

Perhaps I've missed something more obvious.

I thought it could be Alice Holt Forest, but this is deciduous. My search continues.
