Blimey, I wouldn't have found that, even if I'd found it on the map.

Over to you @T4tomo

It is indeed a vigorous workout riding up that hill.

I knew there would be a clue somewhere, but didn.t spot that. I havent ridden it, but done a few rides around there, my daughter had a couple of all day hockey training camps at Tonbridge, so i took the bike! i had some help from google as ever.

 

[T4tomo]

I reckon there is reasonable amount to go on to get started here.

@dog - Vigo Hill looks like a 'nice'*** climb!

*** Challenging, but doable.


@T4tomo - that looks very familiar. As in - here in this thread! I think we may have done that one before now?

PS Yes, we have - HERE!

 

[ColinJ]

So, technically, I got it - but @T4tomo, feel free to pick another one!

I'm relatively new to this thread and not searching 160odd pages!!

I'll have a think and another crack

I wouldn't have searched either, but I remember posting about that one!

It's a bit of a coincidence that it came up again so soon, considering how many roads there are in the UK. Still, it was bound to happen one day - I'm sure that I will repeat myself sooner or later.

try this

That feeling when you see a tell-tale mark on the skyline ... a tower maybe ... and it turns out to be a dirty smudge on your screen.

Goes and gets a cloth to clean screen.

I tried cleaning my screen too... Looks like it was on the camera lens!

Harumph, I was convinced I finally knew one, but the double yellows don't fit.

I'd gone for a few roads around Newbald, looking out over the West Riding.

This will be instantly recognisable to locals familiar with the vigorous workout you get from riding up this hill.

You can see my bike leaning on the right of the road.

Foliage looks different on Google Maps, but the banking and railings seem to match...is it Vigo Hill?

Edit: didn't go to the end of the thread before posting...beaten to it!

I'd look elsewhere...

That's my game plan. I convince myself of where it is, and then look somewhere else.
