One thing is for sure - getting mixed up between the tab with the photo in and another with Streetview in just doesn't work... I kept clicking along the road in the photo and wondering why Streetview was refusing to budge! 
I'll check back in tomorrow to see if it is worth me having another look.
It also looks a lot like roads round here, but a couple of my ideas have not panned out...

Google maps and street view seems to be on a go-slow at the moment... very slow loading, and no 3D option. Anyone else been getting that recently?One thing is for sure - getting mixed up between the tab with the photo in and another with Streetview in just doesn't work...

That prominent hill on right must be a clue, if only I knew where it was.
I initially thought 'Roseberry Topping' but it's nowhere near pointy enough. Now looking at points (no pun) further west.

I was thinking the same thing...
That road reminds me of some between here and Skipton, and there is a similar distinctive hill near Skipton... Er, Sharp Haw, on Flasby Fell?
If that is where it is, I'll keep looking for the road. If it isn't within 20 kms or so of Skipton then I don't have a clue!
I thought of Pendle looking North.

Having checked all of the likely-looking roads, I had come to that conclusion!
It still gives us a great excuse to check our maps and Streetview for likely candidates. I found a couple of nice roads near Skipton that I haven't ridden yet, so I will check those out next year.
As for where the road actually IS... I think that the distinctive hill is what will give it away. If nobody else finds it, I'll try to find the hill on Google Image search.

OK. Maybe time for another clue.
The view is looking almost directly due North; Lose Hill mentioned earlier can't be seen but is by coincidence on a bearing very close to in line behind the distinctive hill.
