Nope - Ben Stack on the road from Laxford Bridge to Loch More.

We did a two day tour up there.

Anyway, your turn from previously!

Bruneep - Follow the Dog at Cannock?

Here's the same view with camera turned 90 degrees - I'm off to bed and don't want to hold things up.

Yep, or at least I assume so. Grizedale I know but other than that I was just following someone who knew where they're going. Some excellent descents round there.

Bruneep, yours is Glenlivvet (according to Google :-))

[b]New day and a rules recap..[/b]

Its a [u]turn-based[/u] guess the location game. (be specific)

Pictures must include bikes or bikey things.

If you guess correctly and its *confirmed by the poster*, it's your turn (so have a pic ready before taking a guess!)

*A certain amount of commitment is required from posters to check back and confirm correct guesses.

Have I missed anything?

Right then...

It's on the Pennine Bridleway heading up Wold Fell.

I've no shot handy so will pass if my guess is correct.

Spot on Whitestone. Now the dales locals are here I've got to get more obscure. Looks like we need something new.

Bottom of the descent from Fremington Edge, I think.

I'll pass if correct though - we need some non-dales!

It's a fast grassy descent

Because of the err...angry man at the bottom.

Yes, though I've yet to meet him.

The shot above is in the Rhinogau, Bwlch y Rhiwgyr at a guess. However it's sunny so can't be in Wales 8)

Bwlch y Rhiwgyr it is. Welshfarmer got the area & Whitestone the exact spot. I'll let you guys decide who posts the next photo.

The sun shone every day last week. Who'd have thought it for Wales 🙂

Looks limestone, so going with the White Peak somewhere. Chapel en le frith area? Never ridden in the Peaks so this is a guess 🙂

Twang... Exmoor? I'll try to be more specific it is Exmoor, as I have forgotten the name of the lane/Bridleway.

The bedrock isn't limestone but gritstone. If it is the Peak then I've no idea as I haven't ridden much there.
