Game: Name that road!

[briantrumpet]

I think I have Colins post correct so I presume I get to post another, so without waiting for Colins confirmation (I will delete if my answers wrong) here is another, a bit easier than my last.

The road to Kettlewell...?

The road to Kettlewell...?

Correct it's looking down Coverdale towards Kettlewell the riders will have come up Park Rash, last years TDY.

Your turn.

Is it Scout Road Mytholmroyd ? landslip caused by Boxing Day Floods.

It is.

It is bad enough that the a huge section of the hillside slipped down onto the road. What made it worse is that there is an asbestos dump in the woods above that hillside and there was the danger of that being exposed as the soil on top of it started to be washed away!

I was away visiting family in the Midlands when the storm causing those floods hit the area. It was clearly a severe event. Not only did it wash away the hillside on the south side of the valley and flood the valley itself, it also washed away part of Midgley Rd on the north side of the valley! I have some pictures of that somewhere... Here you go:

I recognised the view from Park Rash. I have only ridden up there once, but it is a very distinctive view!

Looks like a road in Oxfordshire

I thought initially of Hackpen Hill south of Swindon, but the trees and the curve of the road are wrong. But yeah, same sort of area.

Yeah, it reminds me of the roads north of the Ridgeway, in the Wantage, Lambourn, Shrivenham kind of area, but I can’t specifically place it.

Bullseye! A long lens can be rather fun with how it plays with perception.

Your go!

Well I never.
Actually looking more closely on streetview I can see the resemblance better

nb. this is NOT my next picture, I'm still replying on the last one.
The picture for the next challenge will be up soon.

I was going to say Deepdale/River Wharfe, but I think it might be too steep-sided.
