Thats St Mary's lighthouse chuh!
Right next to my house, great dogging scene :D

I didn't see any of that going on.... must have got the dates mixed up... :rolleyes:

[gettin2dizzy]

I had a ford ka at the time, but didn't.....bah. I'm on to a loser here...

[Skip]

Went to Southwold this evening - honest officer there was no where else to park.... :rolleyes: :D

I love SOuthwold was there a few weeks ago.

I love SOuthwold was there a few weeks ago.
Its one of my favourite places to go early on a Sunday, the breakfast isnt the cheapest at the cafe by the pier but the route there makes it worth it! :D

Wymondham - Hempnall - Bungay - Beccles - Southwold

Not that that probably means anything to you! ;-)

[blackwatch_uk]

Hey skip!:salut:

Didn't need to worry about a parking ticket. It was the bullets from the SA80 that worried me.

Hmmm, that cafe does a nice mug of tea.

My best friend got married there (in the same church her parents did) and that was the first time I'd ever been to the place.
Loved it and have been back a couple of times since - espescially as the hotel I stayed at for the wedding is happy to accomodate dogs so the wee beastie can have a weekend away too.:cool:

[Gordon B]

Ahem,

I give you, quite possibly the winner of this thread......

Although the runway is pretty cool....

And no we didnt cheat. This police station was OPEN at the time of the photo....

[SV225]

The Humber Bridge, taken from the Yorkshire side of it.

[BILLY]

It used to be the worlds longest single span suspension bridge:cool:

[YoungMan]

Rode over some walls into the Temple Complex in Sambour near Kampong Thom in Cambodia. A World Heritage parking lot methinks.

Hired this bike whilst there in April.

[YoungMan]

And if the temple don't win no prizes - how about crossing the lake.
Not illegal, but freaked out the young little backpackers getting it on there!

I'm not sure whether it was actually illegal (I can't read the sign), but it's a great pic anyway.

Fully marks for illegality here, so much so I wish it was me!

1. On the pavement
2. Outside a police station
3. Rode down the one-way to get up there.
4. Police permit holders only (wee white sign)
5. Right under the "No stopping (at any time)" sign.
6. The cruiser had straight-thru pipes too. What a hero.

STOP!

Some good work here but there's insufficient evidence of the illegality of many of these parking places.

http://s3.amazonaws.com/advrider/dog.GIF

The rules are 'illegally parked'' or at least parked where they pretty probably shouldn't be http://s3.amazonaws.com/advrider/deal.gif

CARRY ON!

Although, if you look at it from a different angle...

Well I was hardly going to park in one of the bays marked AMB was I?

[Warthog]

Oops haha, did you get into trouble or where they just making a point?

[Tiger 55]

Oops haha, did you get into trouble or where they just making a point?
I have to say they were both thoroughly, awfully, bloody nice chaps! They spent a lot more time complaining about having their Pan Europeans snatched away and replaced by '****' GS650s than any pointing out the massive, empty car park right in front of us!

More power to them I say, they're on our side I tells you!

Good one. Who would know what 'Pol' means anyhow. Reminds me of the old 'Plan ahea..' joke.

This was a line of 4 disabled bays. I think what made this worse was as Pete & Lissa got in there and I was about to manouever my bike in, a car turned up and wanted to park in the 2nd space which you can see a bit of. I needed masses of space to turn and reverse to park up so the car reversed a bit more and parked in the 3rd bay along!

2004 on a trip to Nice.

In Italy a road worker loaded his truck full of gravel onto the motorway. Full stop for 30 minutes. In the burning heat! I think a I lost a kilo or two...

In Antibes just south of Cannes we stopped at a tourist office. No parking spaces, so we parked right outside.

Nope, the gravel covered the whole road. And the cars parked to close to each other. I mean, we are talking about italian drivers... ;)

(Is that Cambell Square?)
