Game: Name that road!

[MontyVeda]

That white capped finger sign doesn't look like it belongs in your local peddling area... so I'm think this might be a road from one of your recent trips to Devon?

Absence of dry stone walls too.

Right county! I think you will find it pretty quickly now without further clues but I'll point out what should be obvious if nobody finds it in the next couple of days.

I actually haven't ridden that road since a pre-pandemic holiday. I am currently down in Devon and might do it again this time.

The "obvious" I suspect being the blue NCN sign on the signpost.

I'm still enjoying looking at these, but not really trying to solve, as I have hardly any decent new choices to post myself.

...

and the sign post not being a 'northern' one

I think this time I'll throw the doors wide open to anyone who wants to post the next challenge.

If there's no takers in a few days I'll come up with something so ferociously cunning you'll be guessing 'til Octember

Thanks @MontyVeda

Can I pick up the baton? Shouldn't take too long...

Peak district leaps to mind.

That is (obviously!) it. I caught the train to Barnstaple a few years ago and cycled back to holiday HQ (Finlake, near Newton Abbot) that way.

Yes, together with the arrangement of the junction, direction of shadows, and lumpy fringes of Dartmoor in the distance.

Certainly was. Bloody hot it was too!

@T4tomo - your turn!

 

[T4tomo]

Apols, went on holiday and forgot!!

 

[MontyVeda]

looks like a radome on the horizon but the only ones I've found that aren't part of a cluster; Brizlee Wood near Alnwick and Claxby in Lincs don't look like contenders, so it could be a water tower that's teleported in from Kansas?
