Game: Name that road!

[robjh]

great name... Trundlegate!

Thank goodness someone's got that one at last! After Colin's last clue, and looking for wind farms, I was even looking at the Newbalds but obviously missed this road.

Well done!

We do that road on the return leg of the Humber Bridge ride. It is coming off the one significant hill in 100 miles.

Over to you again.

Whilst the vast majority of my rides are in and around Lancashire and Cumbria... this road is absolutely nowhere near either of those counties.
I cycled this road in 1984 on my Grifter/BMX concoction. Save to say i didn't cycle to it from Lancaster. I'll think of a clue to the county if it's needed.

Amazing.

I didn't even have to use my 'sale of the century' clue.

And as if by chance as i typed "I didn't cycle there from Lancaster" i almost added "I'm not Guy Boden!"

did you recognise from a quick ride out from Warrington?

I figured the finger sign might have suggested south east... but very impressed you got it so quick!

No, I've never cycled to Norfolk , but I've spent a lot of time touring around Norfolk in the car with my wife over the years and was near there only last week. We think that some of the village signs are superb.

This is easy, if you know it.
Name that road?

Conversely if you don't know it then it's hard, and I'm in the latter category.

Clue 01

Clue 02

 

[MontyVeda]

that'll be the Pennine way rather than the bridleway I guess?

Leaving Dufton here - heading north though I don't know the road name

 

[ColinJ]

Looks like part of Guy's planning for an assault on nearby Great Dun Fell?

I saw the Pennine Way clue, and the previous clue of a wide valley in the moors suddenly popped up as 'High Cup Nick' in my head, and hey presto we're at Dufton, where the pointy hill came up in some images on a quick search.

Well done, it is indeed near Dufton village, a good place to park for the Pennine Way and walking up "High Cup Nick". Also, as Colin guessed my intended car park for cycling up Great Dun Fell.

Edit: Info: The distinctive "pointy hill" is called Dufton Pike.

(nb the google images are from the road itself rather than on this rise, but the features are distinct enough to find the approximate location)
