Isle of Man

Well, we cycled the mountain course on Saturday. Brill. After a swim and jacuzzi went out on the cycles with the girls. Treated ourselves to the pub then. Sunday morning before breakfast we cycled up the mountain to have the adrenaline rush coming back down. Then up the mountain on the railway. Did some sightseeing and then time for the ferry home. So no chance of doing a lane. There'll be another time .
I see you're going to the Bakewell bash @Shimsteriom. I'd like to talk to you about leading a group of us if we come over later this year or next year if that's ok.

That's ashame, but glad you got to enjoy the Island

We had a fantastic time. Loved every minute.
Probably a good thing that we didn't do a lane. Talking with one of the customs/immigration guys on the dockside who is a 4x4 guy, he reiterated the insensitive treatment that some of the lanes have suffered and informed us the local constabulary take a very dim view of it. We can wait until one of you locals kindly offer to show us round. And we'll be there in the Defenders so body rash won't be a problem

@Shimsteriom
Just seen your posts on the BB thread. Shame you can't make it over to our neck of the woods. Some other time .....

This is why it's preferential at the moment to go out with the local club as they will have made sure that the tracks are in a good enough condition to be used, and that the correct permissions have been obtained. We have a limited number of lanes available to us over here, so we need to be careful with them.
I'm glad to had fun while you were over here.
