Indeed. More posted here for marvellousness than mischief.

Well, it's clearly a Sustrans NCN route.

Is the little known English rift Valley.

It's the national path consortium 'drainage, why it is necessary' demonstration site.

NCN72 Out of Greenhead? It's in the same state anyway

I know where I've seen that before. Ukip's manifesto for transport.

I seem to remember that Wayfarer's pass had a surface like that, but the hills were not so green.

Well, it's clearly a Sustrans NCN route.

With a special "wheel tracking" facility for beginners.

Mary Towneley Loop of the Trans Pennine Trail - somewhere near Waterfoot?

andrew_s · « **Reply #5813 on:** 05 June, 2014, 12:19:25 am »

It's not on any NCN, or any recognised cycle route as far as I know.
Wayfarers is the closest guess so far.

Somewhere Clarkson drove after a curry?

i.e. it's in Wales

Whilst the shibboleth is being considered,

Until I looked the word up just now, I'd always thought a shibboleth was a creature from Jewish mythology. Some relative of the golem, perhaps.

Nice to see I was right all along

I thought it might be too subtle

So did I (! $:-\$

). Nevertheless, my guess for Jaded's photo would have been "the Lindt factory". Not the lint factory, nor the lintel factory, let alone the lentil factory. Nothing to do with Barbara Streisand either.
