Game: Name that road!

[Aravis]

Thanks @Shortfall.

Where is this?

With the hint that it might be too far from Colin's residence, I thought it must be findable on one of the ford sites. Not Lancashire, not S Yorks, not W Yorks. N Yorks - I find something that could possibly be it with OS grid reference thoughtfully provided.

NOT too far! I agreed that locals would find it easy - I knew it at a single glance.

We used to go that way on the Spring Into The Dales audax event but the route was then changed. Probably because there was a risky crossing of a fast downhill stretch of the busy A59.

The road further along is named Storiths Lane. I always assumed that the bit with the ford is too.

If I recall correctly, @Aravis is one of the few of us who has ridden in N Ireland. I wonder if that is the place to look? Certainly has the look of some of the mountains there but I'm no expert.

I would be interested to know where this is, but I can't promise to comment.

I can see the resemblance now that you mention it

You're actually pretty close.

 

[Dogtrousers]

You're actually pretty close.

Oh no. That means more time wasted faffing around on Google maps. Couldn't you just say "not even close"?

Wouldn't that be a tad unhelpful to everyone else?
