I don't know how long this thread will last! but I was out today for a spin and ended up at the point of ayre the most northerly point of the island infact I was only 17 miles from Scotland. I have based this thread on the popular superdream and phoneboxes thread
ps the ride was about 45mins and it took an hour and half to clean the bike   |

that little path is about 100m long I should of had the bike closer to me but wanted to show size of lighthouse. the main one is way back inland and much bigger, the whole area is a mass of stone banks down to the sea there is a big fog horn behind me but it does not sound anymore, its a shame because it had a lovely tone. |

I am going to have to cheat if I want my bike on this thread, although I'm thinking burnham on sea has one so maybe when it warms up a bit I will get a shot in  |

Respect, getting up at that time every day. One of my stints at Marks was a 6am start, getting up at 5. I found it hard going & was glad when the 3 month contract was up. Finished at 1.30 today, sun was out & roads dry, so got a grocery run on the 400N . Managed to find a puddle of run-off from the fields though, so that's 3 bikes need cleaning now . Didn't manage a lighthouse though |
