Looking to return to a road I drove last year

[PDJ]

In the next few week I would like to return to a road I drove in my 2ltr Z4, this time I will be in my Z4M so I have very little idea where it is other than it is not too far from Manchester.
Here is a picture of the lay-by with my old car in it

So off to Google maps to see if I have a time line for that date

So that narrows it down to North of Manchester and not the Peak District.
Then looking at the other photos I noticed my garmin was on the windscreen and still on

Zoomed in and the location at the bottom is Lythe Fell Lane
Back to Google maps and street view


So I have found it therefore plan to return to the road and take some new photos of the new Z

But just imagine how other people can track down what you have been up to, with access to a small amount of digital data

Good for murder cases, possibly not divorce cases!

not divorce cases

Depends on who is tracking who is mummy bear smarter than daddy bear?

Was abut to suggest Forest of Bowland, but then carried on reading and realised you'd worked it out yourself.

I think that was the same road that I nearly took my front bumper off landing after a 30mph hump once :x

Was abut to suggest Forest of Bowland,

But it is a forest with no trees, well I did not find many that day.

You did well to find it OP.

That roads looks like it will be loads of fun in an M - enjoy. :driving:

I wish I could find roads like that down here in the South East.

They're there, they're just very small on that stretch

Definitely Lythe Fell Rd between Bentham and Slaidburn in the Forest of Bowland. A road myself and quite a few other forum members in the North West know very well :driving:

The word 'Forest' used in the name 'Forest of Bowland' comes from the latin 'foris' meaning 'outside/outdoors' which in Medieval times was used to describe a 'preserve' or 'royal hunting ground'. Trees don't even come into it although when you get to Slaidburn if you turn north and go a few miles up the road you will come to Gisburn Forest which is full of trees...millions of pine trees, and is the largest forest in Lancashire

A favourite of mine for getting into or out of the Yorks Dales :driving: to be fair its not a great drivers road but it is one to enjoy for the remoteness & scenery , heading into Bentham you have a great view of the 3 peaks & in the opposite direction you look down over Stocks reservoir & the Ribble valley .

A fine peace of detective work. Makes me glad I don't use a sat Nav though.
