Photos of our Isle of Man Tour



  LY182/NHB CTR
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 :D

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, great to meet you and looking forward to seeing you again soon :D


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 :D

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:

Out of interest how much does it cost to take your car over on the ferry?

Looks a good break!

Price depends what time of year you go and what deals are on at the time.

I managed to get a good deal for us all it was only £130 per person for 3 nights at the hotel and ferry crossing.
