It is some years since I did a real good bus tour of the Island. It used to be a regular thing to do in the days before people brought cars and motorcycles to the TT. We had mystery tours and day trips to Port Erin and Port St.Mary !! The TT course was a whole day and we stopped in Ramsey to take on water, fuel and pemmican....

Frankly I'm looking forward to coming on the organised early morning practice simulation !..

Now see http://www.ianhuntly.co.uk/busstur.htm and digest......

The photo shows one trip we did a few years back which was unfortunately terminated when the bus threw a fetlock up on the mountain. We tried to take the back road down from Brandywell to the west side of the course. We ended up eating the driver and got back to Douglas three days later..The bus is still in the middle of the Island with trees, bushes and other vegetation growing through the floorboards...

Hope you are well John.......Bring tools !
