nope its the BP station as Wuzards said...they have got some new installation there so there is a little driveway to some electrical /switching boxes....but the key to finding was the combination of the little tree ,the overhead gantry for the train wires and the transformer up the pole..all findeable in street view(not in the same pic though!)

My apologies to Drogen if he has gone there. He can always try the next one........

Well - this gotta be a first. Weekend tag holed up in the city for a change. Was a "interesting" day at Manfield - not really a spectator sport for me. But lovely to meet a fellow Coastie tagger (sketchy, the elder). And I gotta say Mal - that son of yours is a bloody nice young man (not too mention an awesome rider). You and Jan have done a great job and you should be very proud of him. Sorry - off topic i know.

Thanks young lady, was great to meet you to.:niceone:

agreed...whilst the challenge of a "tough" is a buzz i think it turns a lot of people off.If you look at a tag and have no idea where it is then you cant do anything until the tag is taken,and a new one posted.There will always be tags that only local will recognise but thats the nature of the game.I recognise your tagfor two reasons.I had a mate who had this view from his house,and i used to work in a place immediately in front of that distintive landmark.

The Anchorage in Whitby.

Man, Talk about practicing my u turn skills.... So many dead end streets in Whitby. 20 minutes of being lost before I finally had the nouse to look closely at the background hill peak to work out the angle, then an appreciation for the elevation finally got me there. Nice Hide.

Actually there was an easier way....granted you had to have an idea where in Whitby it was,but as soon as you go up Spinnaker Drive(actually i think i saw it from Paremate Road),you can see the half (re) built house.
As for u turns I started doing them in Mervyn Pl,off Grays Road.The ol PD is remarkably stable at low speed,just drag the rear brake,lean away from the turn and turn the bars full lock.
Was gonna post a clue with anchor tied in there somewhere.
Good work Dafe ,please tell me you werent out there at 6 46 am!.
I like these ones,its EASY to think that its straightforward from the original tagger POV(no pun intended) but to recreate the view is difficult.My Upper Hutt of mrchips isnt 100 per cent,I stopped at a little road side area just tdown from the top ,decided it wasnt right then went up one corner.In actual fact i think Mr Chips shot was from the very top.My one is easy once you get the general area cos the building site allows the only clear view ,and is a X marking the spot in itself

Personally Mal I think this counts-
You made the effort, a closed road gate stopped you approaching any further
We know your a honest player and had that gate been open the pic would have been of the very spot itself

I vote that Mal (SketchY SnR to those who aint met him yet) should get this TAG
Closed gates as close as legally possible to get- and we all know he was at the entrance to Linsdale
