Game: Name that road!

[ColinJ]

You didn't need the clue then? 🦸‍♀️🤴

I was just looking at the OS map and feeling very thick!

I'm still going to think about it, while also trying to identify the snow road in potsy's pics.

I too thought it was Skye as the crag has near identical rock to the sea cliffs I’ve climbed near Staffin. I hadn’t got as far as looking.

If it's OK with @Aravis who's yet to confirm the road, and @ColinJ who created this game, and @potsy who misunderstood the rules a while back... I'd like his post to be the next 'name that road' challenge.

Wow, that means I'll have to not only read the rules but double check just where the hell I was that day

 

[ColinJ]

Well, my guesstimate is that it is at 250-300 m above sea level. I also guess that @potsy drove up there and went for a stroll so it probably wasn't too far from Stockport. That looks like some kind of layby. So I suggest that we look for parking areas on moderately high main road summits heading into the Peak District.

Alternatively - I am completely wrong and it is something else, somewhere else!

Saw the pic, thought "Cat and Fiddle but must be further North 'cos it's not that cold today". Then I saw the date.

I think Bull Hill Lane off the Cat. Off to check street view...

I reckon you are right!

Yup, taken by the blue car, I think?

Can't get a screenshot to work for since reason.

I'll be offline for a bit shortly, so if I am right, can I pass the baton back to @MontyVeda who should have had this one by rights

 

[ColinJ]

It is at 306 m so I am chuffed with that. I can see the road name sign with snow on it in the photo. As for the 'layby' - the blue signs actually warn that people parking there will be prosecuted!

Ha I was just working my way down from the Cat and Fiddle….

Spot on!
Well done

We had walked from Tegg's Nose reservoir and set off in relatively decent conditions, 6.5 miles later and we were all freezing

The walk up Bull Hill Lane was particularly brutal with sideways snow and a bitterly cold wind to contend with, all part of then fun of being a serious hiker

We've cycled up Bull Hill Lane on the tandem. Now *that* was brutal!

Over to @MontyVeda for the next one if that's ok.

There are two roads connecting Rainow Road with the Cat and Fiddle; Bull Hill Lane and Cliff Lane. They are equally unpleasant going up and not much fun going down

 

[MontyVeda]

Oh Bugger... you mean i've still got to think of a road

give me half an hour.

 

[MontyVeda]

OK, try this one...
