you're supposed to wait your turn.... Figbat's road needs to be identified first and whoever correctly identifies it, posts the next picture
Whoops....... sorry all, that'll teach me to get all excited and stuff !!!!

A picture from a few yards further up the same hill, September 2nd 2017:
My Strava title for the ride that day was Yan Tan Tethera - one of my better ones. The picture is a mile or so north of the Ridgeway on the B4494 looking towards Wantage. Anything but flat...

Pretty much nailed it, although mine was taken just along from the entrance to the car park at the Ridgeway.

Now that I've looked a little more carefully, I see that so is mine - a few yards up from yours. There was a bit more climbing to do after I took the picture, but that's above the car park, not below as I was misremembering.
I'm happy to pass to someone else now.

It looks like a nice road and I will be interested to find out where it is!
PS Found it! I had a vague inkling that it reminded me of photos I had seen of a climb that is definitely on my 'to do' list...

Absolutely right !! We've stayed in a couple of holiday cottages close by in the last couple of years just so I can ride this one !! It's a long slog to the cattle grid, thereafter it gets a bit scary 
When you've summited, come a couple of hundred yards back down and hang a left which will take you down over to Lake Vrynwy...... Well worth the cycle round it and cafe stop at the southern end !!

Ok, here's one. I have posted the picture before, but (AFAICR) not in this thread!

Looks like my sort of road, but I don't recognise it.
It looks like Wales to me, but most of @ColinJ 's tend be Yorkshire-ish and points north. So in short, dunno.

Agreed........ Could well be Wales, but then again............. Pretty sure it's not the south west......... now I've said that it'll be Dartmoor or something ! Not the Gospel pass in Wales is it ??

It IS in Wales, but is not the Gospel Pass!
