Game: Name that road!

[MontyVeda]

That was a much easier find... the sun is shining from the left so likely facing west. The contrails have to be transatlantic so either coming from London's airports, Manchester or Glasgow/Edinburgh... and the big ship helped me skip a lot of areas.

I started up north headed down the west coast checking a few likely peninsulas on the way and ended up in south wales right around here. We're looking at Skomer Island on the Pembrokeshire Coast. Not sure if that is a big ship now... there's no sizable port in St Bride's Bay

I'm at work so will provide a screen shot when i get home.

...and my coffee has gone cold!

[edit] Home again... it was a murky day for the GG car.

...and now it's bedtime

Well done. As you say, the coastal scenery narrowed it down a lot. I was heading up the peninsula from Marloes to Martin's Haven to get the boat to Skomer, which is the higher landmass in the distance.

Over to you!

Good point about the contrails - I hadn't even noticed them in the photo but they were very clear in the sky all week there, mainly transatlantic but with some north-south too.
St Brides Bay always has a few ships moored offshore, I assume as a sort of waiting area for Milford Haven.

It's possible to fly from continental Europe as well. If they're heading for Canada/USA they won't have come from any of the major UK airports.

There are other pictures taken on clear days! For example...

yes but continental Europe isn't allowed in the game... the contrails narrowed it down to three flightpaths coming to and from the UK.

So that bridge is either over a railway or another road (unlikely in a rural area), or just possibly a canal if it is close to a wharf.

Those in the know also know that i seldom venture too far from home.

I am away from a big screen, about to have a meal with friends, so I am not going to search immediately. If the road is still unidentified when I get home I will search for it then.
