Bottom of the descent from Fremington Edge, I think.

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

Nope

Sort of split the two guesses.

Nope (in his best condescending Jeremy Paxman voice!)

It's a fast grassy descent

Foregate (think there's a ford here) to Healaugh?

Isn't the bottom of that descent known as 'Angry Man'?

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

With a handle like mine I've lots of Yorkshire pics easily recognised. However, I took this on holiday last week.

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 ๐Ÿ™‚

Looks limestone, so going with the White Peak somewhere. Chapel en le frith area? Never ridden in the Peaks so this is a guess ๐Ÿ™‚

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.

Still wrong county ๐Ÿ™‚

A clue - It's a 'well published' descent, but not that popular because of it's location..

That looks to me like the Ladybower end of the Cutgate trail, just beside the bridge after the long descent.
?

Try again boxelder.

Hint:
It's close to the previous Hollinsclough picture.

Three Shires Head

Rob8264, I can name all the hills from the shot and would say it is taken from down near the heads of the valleys somewhere. Possibly up in Rheola forest? I will apply some science and come up with a more accurate location.

EDIT Right I am putting you 2 valleys further west on Varteg Hill?Crynant Forest area???
