The view down to the Cambridgeshire plains as I say from the chalk ridge on the Herts / Essex borders.

And to complete the task, you just need to name the road...

Bullseye, @Venod. Your turn again.
Of all roads I ever ridden, I think this is the one I regard as most important to do again. Heading southwards, once past the island of Gigha there's a section of over 10 miles where you feel on the edge of the earth, before the road curves away towards Campbeltown. I was probably lucky in that there was no more than a gentle waft of the purest Atlantic air, when looking at the map I imagine winds of Hebridean proportions are not uncommon.
The quieter road on the other side of the peninsula is great too, but it's a totally different experience.
I thought the Paps of Jura would've been more recognisable, but I should know how these things go now.

I haven't been that far down, we caught the ferry from Kennacraig to Islay, then a flotilla of small craft ferried all the competitors and their gear across to Jura, I have done several Moutain Marathons but this was definatley the best, the weather was brilliant, the overnight camp was at Loch Tarbert, people were swimming in the sea, its also memorable for the midges when we camped at Lochgilphead on the way home.
Here's another, taken from google but it is a road I have cycled.

is that a trunk road or motorway that the HGV is on?
My initial thought was the A66 but it's not where i guessed it might be (the hills aren't big enough).

My thoughts are M6 or A66 . The background looks typical Pennine moorland

I vaguely recognised it.

Correct, Bank View Cafe now painted in KOM spots just down the hill to the left.
Your turn.

I think there are sufficient clues here...

OK, so either everyone's sick of the game, or this is much harder than I thought.
Time for a clue methinks.
Keep on in the direction of the photo and you'll reach a record breaking village.
