Photos from the Isle of Man

[salem]

Just come back from a cracking weekend on the Isle of Man so much so we will go back again soon. So if you ever get the chance go

We were very lucky with the weather sunshine all weekend. The 1st time we crossed the mountian section it was foggy but soon cleared up later in the day when we returned.

We took a lot less photos then expected I dont know why. Some fantasic mountain and country roads, some of the best ones being rather narrow and only ideal for a few cars so it was lucky there was no more then 6 cars at any one time.

We have some video footage to edit so as soon as it has been done I will post it up.

Big thank you Sarah for being our tour guide for the weekend


Photos are now up and in the Gallery

Here are a selection I've put mostly Trophy photos for you.

The Hotel

Have to say the rooms were lovely and I would stay there again

The driving

First stop was to see if the dolphins were out to play but sadly they didnt come over to see us so instead we managed to get a few shots of us going under the bridge.

The Grand Stand

Well whats a trip to the Isle of Man without having your photo taken on the Grand Stand

The rest of the photos are from all over the Island I think we covered pretty much every road in the 2 full days we were there and there are some cracking roads with stunning views, thanks to Sarahs local knowledge.

Cat Sanctuary

Rhys mentioned just a few times he wanted to see a Manx Cat so Sarah took us to a little cat sanctuary. I think its the first time they have had a car club visit them :lol: but it was a great little place not just cats but birds, donkeys, rabbits and dogs. The cats were left to walk around freely or had a lovely little sitting room with guarded open fires and chairs and rugs to sit on it was like cat heaven.

Good job Eunice didnt see... one of the cats took a liking to Richards & Eunices car thankfully both Richard & Eunice was unware of this at the time otherwise it could have lost one of his 9 lives :lol:

No I dont think so the mountain road was too busy to max out... besides done that aboard

Did have a couple of nice blasts along the country roads to test the lsd on the Honda and was very impressed especailly as I left the other cars in the distance and had to wait for them to catch up :lol:

It was a great weekend everyone was sensiable drove to their limit and comfort zone and there was no pressure and most important no incidents...

We managed to get a discount for a group booking (including ferry and hotel accomodation) and that worked out around 150 quid per person (which was a STONKING deal!) Current prices are £205 for one adult in a car and £270 for two adults in a car... not cheap. That's for a return to/from Heysham and doesn't include accomodation. It may get pricier in the summer.

*concentrates* Nope - I can't get wigged out no matter how hard I try! :lol:
