Game: Name that road!

[twentysix by twentyfive]

Dublin to Belfast, picking up on the "capital" and "international" flavour?

Unlikley, given they said "Have used an Irish pic up before so wouldn't repeat that."

I think it is almost certainly somewhere on mainland Great Britian, which is on the Capitals route linked to by @roubaixtuesday here.

Possibly the previous pic was in the Republic (and hence not allowed for this thread), but this one is in NI? I don't know if that makes sense.

Transnational and green...
Suppose that might mean the London-Newhaven stretch of Avenue Verte. Haven't got time to go looking...

i think we're needing a clue, @Emanresu

The AV goes along a tributary of the Thames. A bridge over the river is seen in the last pic. This is where it comes out onto an A road.

The road is Morden Road, A239, running alongside Morden Park
That makes the view in @Emanresu 's challenge in Morden Park, crossing the river Wandle, but I can't find a streetview image in the exact place.

Am I close enough?

I'd looked all round that park, but couldn't find an image matching his photo, so had thought it musy be somewhere else.

I've followed AV from the Thames to Redhill using the Open Cycle map in Komoot checking if Google Streetscene has been near any water crossing and cannot find that image.

Morden Park over the River Wandle is correct. Over to you @robjh

Mistakenly I thought this would be easy. The route only goes through 2 or 3 parks so thought that would narrow it down. That said, it's a great combination of roads of different types and it is surprising how leafy the London area is.

The difficulty we have is htat whatever you select needs to be visible on streetview. Remember, most of us will not have cycled over many of the examples. If you are going to pick somewhere that the road or path doesn't actually have regular streetview, then it should be matching one of the photos selectable on Google maps.

Otherwise, nobody who hasn't actually been there is likely to find it for sure.

No, that isn't a photo.

When you click on the streetview man, the blue dots show where photos are available (blue lines show regular streetview available). Hover over one, it shows it like above, click on it, the full photo is shown.
