RE: Under Rated Viewing Points.
Flying Plumber considers Bungalow Bridge underrated, I totally agree. My uncles were going to the TT from 1936. My first, aged 16, in 1948 at Hillberry for Senior, Harold Daniell first man round, hooked on TT ever since. We make an annual pilgrimage to B. Bridge but we call it Les Graham memorial, as I believe it should be. Superb viewing, great overtaking, sidecars too. Years ago we used to leave the bikes at the Agneash leadmine and walk up the mountain to cross under the course by the bridge, not possible now. I remember one year my cousin Brian helping Tommy Robb to his feet after sliding off the 'works' Honda on a wet patch on the bridge. Not hurt, but pretty upset, as he was going well at that stage. The great advantage of the mountain is the ability to walk to different view points. From the Creg up to Kate's Cottage and Keppel Gate gives a great variety of different viewing spots, all fast and exciting. The approach to Keppel from the 33rd is a great place for overtaking and there is always plenty of room to watch from.
See you at Les Graham's memorial, Flying Plumber!
