Following on from the thread entitled Death Valley.

Are there anymore sections of our road network with unofficial names?

I know of Windy Hill (M62)…named presumably due to the wind blasting across it at all times.

Little House on the Prairie (M62 again)…farmhouse stranded between the carraigeways on the moors(or prairie)

Any more■■?

Then ther’s the Ski Jump (M4 Eastbound approaching Sarn) and the Water Jump (Thelwall Viaduct).

There’s a farm over to the right as you head West, and it used to have a huge barn with “PYO strawberries” written in giant letters on the roof. Planes coming in to land in Cardiff Airport could see it!
