Not sure that's right ...
Wouldn't that take you on a circle (great or small) around the earth and you would end up where you started?
Don't you need a constant offset angle from the 'straight ahead' to guarantee a spiral which will concentrate at the pole? Of course, if you were to choose the 'incorrect' offset, you would end up at the 'east' or 'west' pole.
And yes, that second paragraph was a ninja-edit, just in case you were wondering.

You might be right as I see what you are saying.
but I'm sure I animated this in 3d ages ago and it and it pissed me off no end.
as I couldn't get the object to just go around the other object as I wanted.
