Game: Name that road!

[roubaixtuesday]

I had the right valley with Blakey Bank, didn't I ?

Right hill, but valley on the other side.

Blakey bank goes down to Farndale, to the south. Glaisdale runs into the Esk Valley to the North.

OK, so assuming @T4tomo agrees, here's your next.

Another quick one predicted.

As for the bridge in Wales... I was thinking that I had never seen it or the countryside before. But, knowing how bad my memory is, I just checked exactly where it is...

Oh crap - I went over the original wooden bridge in 2012 on the holiday during which I probably developed my DVT. We were staying in Talsarnau and drove over the bridge one night to buy curries in Porthmadog. I remember that the toll booth was shut and wondering whether the Welsh government had made use of the bridge free, or was it only free at night?

And then I went back to Wales in 2018, by which time the new bridge in the photograph had been built. We went over that bridge by train to Pwllheli for a day's cycling on the LLeyn Peninsula.




And by me!

A lovely, no, beautiful part of the country when the clouds part. The rest of the time it's cold & wet!

Pretty sure I know the area that’s in. But don’t have time to pinpoint at the moment. So much of it looks familiar from my walking outings.

Shadows and the windswept tree suggest we are looking in pretty much a southerly direction...

Yes indeed, I was out playing hockey. Although it was always known locally as Common Lane, no one really knows how it came to be called Caper Hill.

I'm certainly not keeping up... A couple of roads came and went without me even spotting the posts!

Spot on, a perfect day out following the Fred Whitton route last year. Happy days.

Lovely! I know the area well having been brought up nearby Marske.

could be one of a gazillion junctions onto a roundabout under a dual carriageway or motor way from the looks of it

That IS what it looks like, and I don't have a clue where it is, but let's assume that it is sneaky, and we are actually looking at something else and more unusual...
