My friend Leila's just come back from there. She was marshalling at the classic races last week.
She was amazed at how beautiful the island is.
Hope you both have a lovely time.

Chose the right week with the weather , but being a typical Brit , I'll complain that it was a little too hot for biking kit .
Hotel on Douglas sea-front for five nights .

So headed back towards Douglas to the Murray Motor Museum . Met the (eccentric) owner who knew the whole history of the TT since 1911 so had quite a long chat there.

Excellent photos.

Must go back sometime

When i did the Snowdonia360, at one point on Anglesey, we could see the IOM and Scotland.
