Having had a quick ferret about, Ferques.Looks like I didn't actually get there, but anyway.

Deviation sounds as if it might have possibilities for the evening if not exhausted by a day of cycling.

I was on my own, so indulging in deviations might have been tricky. By no means impossible, though...

I've been cycling around Calais neck o'the woods since, like, forever. How on Earth have I not been here?
*checks map*
I've been very close - probably within 5 miles. I've been through Le Wast and Pittefaux, and I'm pretty sure I've ridden through Wierd-as-Effroy.

Champ perdu - the lost field - so how come there's a sign to it?

It's probably been done before, but taken from Google Maps for Sheffield....

Here’s one from a few years ago. It’s at the start of the road to Monschau from Eupen. The German side is as smooth as a billiard table. My friend Daniel described the Belgian side as “the tanks went through during WW2 and not been repaired yet“. it really was that badly potholed. For years it had a home made sign, but this one looks more official.

There is an A road in/out of Durham called the silent road. The tarmac is smooth, it’s silent and empty on a night and very fitting of the name.

In the north Pennines is the village of Idle with the Idle Working Men's Club.

A close look at the 1:25,000 map of @ColinJ 's neck of the woods will give you some good names.

I'd say 'south' Pennines!

No funny places round here...
