Yep, spot on. Your go.

Okey dokey....I've tried to pick one with plenty of clues, so this should be easy for you lot.

I confidently expect someone to look at the bench and, making deductions from its shape, materials, construction, etc, narrow this down to a few square miles, then someone else will identify those yellow flowers as native to only a hundred yards of road in the whole country.

It's High Road heading West from Welton.

Thanks - you saved me from scanning any more of the banks of the Humber! I have been up and down the other side, but hadn't done the north side.

It most certainly is.

If you look very closely, and with a mirror on a stick, you may even see the impression left by my sweaty shorts on that bench.

It's a road I have ridden in both directions several times, usually when doing a 100 miler over the Humber Bridge.

I will post another but it might be tomorrow.

100 milers over the Humber Bridge. Hmm...

Oh - my memory really IS getting bad. I have also done it several times but couldn't remember it! Here is the outward route on the 2019 forum ride over the bridge:

I have 2 excuses...

1. We did it in the other direction.
2. I was climbing on singlespeed, which takes a fair amount of effort, so I wasn't looking around much!

Here is another with a distinctive feature which some will recognise.

I recognise the pony, pretty sure its won a few rosettes in the potato race...

Pen y Ghent, Shirley?

Can't find the vantage point though.

Is the photo a mirror image?

Here from Horton

 

[T4tomo]

I thought this was close, but its not quite right....(horse has moved )

what we are looking for....

 

[Venod]

Pen y Ghent, Shirley?

No, but it is one of the Three Peaks, which bears a remarkable resemblance to Pen y Ghent from this angle. there are flying saucers in your pic.

 

[T4tomo]

Nutgill lane, its changed a bit between photos. and its looking at Ingleborough
