Game: Name that road!

[youngoldbloke]

The road drops away steeply to the right and then a hairpin to the left and then down to curve right and a long straight stretch to the main road.

Ivinghoe Beacon perhaps (solely based on it being somewhere on the Ridgeway)?

Wrong end!

How about the less abstract white horse near Broad Hinton, which would put that car parking area at SU 12902 74712 (roughly - give or take a bit).

Around Alton Barnes or West Kennett?

Have to give it to Sea of Vapours - actually the top of Hackpen Hill. On the road down to Marlborough from Broad Hinton. A climb I never enjoy!
Your turn!

That's what the grid ref is to, the parking place above the zig zag you rather helpfully described :-)

I don't have any relevant photos left which I've not already posted so anyone with a good one care to post the next?

A good one. With the flatness and waterway it could be the Fens, but nowhere I recognise (though it does get a bit samey). The road surface looks unusually good for the Fens though, and I don't recognise the two pointy things on the left-hand horizon.

North of Lockerbie just before the power station and timber yards.
