Game: Name that road!

[Ming the Merciless]

Many apologies for my dodgy clue, checking, it's actually south Northamptonshire, which should make it a bit easier

Pretty sure you’ve posted it before. Luckily things to do or I’d be down the rabbit hole looking.

I actually drew the border of Oxfordshire on my digital OS map and searched methodically. After the 3rd search I thought to myself that you can't have been quite so careful with your county borders and maybe it was nearer to Rugby!!

It's a road with no name, at Marston St Lawrence, Northants:

Well done.

That was doing my head in. What does my head in even more is that I scrolled my digital OS map over that numerous times but somehow didn't spot it!

@Willd am I OK to do the next one?

 

[Willd]

Of course

Here it is then, taken on my ride yesterday. I'm heading out for most of the day now (not on my bike) so assuming this goes quickly please feel free to proceed with the next

I'm thinking that looks like Birdlip hill, but I can't find the road with that view.

I think that was my problem. I had checked other bodies of water which turned out to be just small ponds so I was looking for something much bigger.

I was standing in one county, but most of what can be seen is in another. Neither is Gloucestershire...

You can't tempt me with your juicy clues. I am NOT wasting my time messing around in Google Maps.

Definitely absolutely not.

I was going to add that the hill on the left gives it's name to an establishment producing alcoholic liquor which is not readily visible, but is situated in front of the tree-topped high ground in the centre of the picture.

Has no-one worked it out yet? I won't criticise anyone for having a bash.

Will this thread remain here for ever, the victim of severe hunger, or perhaps a large predatory fish?
