And then from the same spot but facing towards the bikes as they arrive into the corner....

This is the car park - the incline can be off putting on a bike, funnily enough though it didnt bother me at all this year, though alot were struggling.

Walking down from the corner gives you a good view of the catch fencing Wink ....

Once the races have finished the roads are re-opened fairly quickly, though the mountain section is another hour after that as the one way system has to be set back up, plus i think they like to let the spectators calm down before letting them loose. Still like wacky races when it does eventually open.....

On this occasion it was open around 15 minutes before the inevitable happened and the road was closed for another RTC to be cleared up... time to head back to camp me thinks.

All in all a great day with nice warm weather, though as is the way at the TT, another rider today joined the list of those who will never return from the IOM. Supersport rider Bob Price sadly lost his life during the race. God rest his soul. Sad sad times.
