It is visible both from the main road (A420) and the road to the village. There are gateways you can pull in off the road. There is even a track up to the folly (if you are adventurous - Not recommended for a standard motorcycle) from Stanford Road.

Gog, are you going for the whole lot? I went to park where you did for the Spurn Lightship, but a dodgy looking guy on a bicycle appeared and insisted I give him my phone to take the photo of me and my bike. I had visions of him riding away with it, so I buggered off instead. I am sorry to the people of Hull, but the place has a bit of a reputation :(

It is highly unlikely that I'll 'get' Scotland - due to my 'bad back' but I'm certainly trying for all of England and Wales (weather permitting).


The place I parked near the Lightship is very public - Can't imagine anyone trying more than a 'snatch & run' there and my toughend boots and bike gloves may deter such action!


I'd have 'gone once round the block' had that happened to me.


All the best.

I did go round the block and stopped where I did when I saw a really nice cafe. :D

Completed the last four for the north west ending at the Winking man. Started the first Welsh tag at Leighton gate. I am sitting on my own at a campsite next to a pub. The owners are out for the night and I have the place to myself. O what to do with an empty in a pub!

See, I'm torn between doing all of East England and maybe one of the neighbouring ones in the interest of maximum points, or saying "stuff the completion bonuses" and doing a route all over the country. Only got a few days of holiday left this year and want to use them well... Obviously it'd be pretty handy to be able to see them all on a map if I take the 'all over the place' approach so I can plan around it!

How about aiming for ones you have not been to to take you on new and interesting roads? I know GOG put tags based on recommendations for best biker roads, so some seem in an odd place, but all lead to a great place to ride.
