What does this road sign mean?

shutter · 06-11-2007

Driving up a very narrow country lane, along a river valley, in the Brecon Beacons, this past weekend. I came upon this sign....
the location of the sign post does not give any clue as to why, or what, the [original] sign is supposed to warn of.. there were no bends other than general type for the lane, it did not get narrower, or any of the "usual" stuff... there seemed to be no reason for the (original) signe to be there....
Offers on the meaning please.....

I have no idea what it means but I now have a craving for Walnut Whips

As it is a designated cycle route it may be this

Is there a Cumberland sausage factory nearby?

Experience; is something you gain, just after you needed it most.

When faced with two choices, simply toss a coin. It works not because it settles the question for you. But because in that brief moment while the coin is in the air. You suddenly know what you are hoping for.

No mention of which road it is and the great oracle of all knowledge knows not only which one but that its a cycle route too.

I suspect the bit shown in the attachment below might have been a clue!
And it was OldJim not pierre!
Edit: And here you can tell where it goes: http://www.sustrans.org.uk/what-we-do/national-cycle-network/route-numbering-system/route-42
All you have to do is Google street view the entire route and you'll be able to find out exactly where the photo was taken.

A nature reserve for the rare Oozlum bird ahead.

Well spotted, jelv.... never noticed that number on the pole, (even when I took the pic) ! !

the actual part of the route is the bit between Abergavenny and Hay, (bottom half) that signpost is about halfway along the bottom half of the route, and I don`t remember seeing any other signs regarding cyclists ! ! ... however... I recommend the road, if you are in the area as it crests a hill, threequarters of the way to Hay, there is the most magnificent view....

Double doh! I could fo sworn I saw pierre_pierres name next to it and I honestly thought he was a genius. I didn't even see the cycle network thing on the post

It means Japanese food ahead. Specifically Narutomaki!

Hey Shutter,
That does look like a nice view.
I don't know if you know about it, but for creating panoramas, you may want to consider Hugin (http://hugin.sourceforge.net/).
As well as photo stitching, it uses Enblend for seam blending and Enfuse for exposure fusion, which results in near invisible seams.

just had a look at that sign
the full meaning is that the Yobs have been up there with a spray can
