I took a pushbike, pedaled in on Wednesday night, pedaled down to stadium corner for Thursday's racing, pedaled back to Douglas and had a night in a hotel then sailed back this morning (Friday) then pedaled home.

I've had a stellar time. I live 50 odd miles from heysham and had a great ride home today.

Racing was truly nail biting, fast, close and great to watch. Thursday's weather got better and better, come lunch time everybody was enjoying the welcome sunshine.

It were a lovely evening strolling on Douglas front heading to port jack chippy for me tea after the day had done.

It's been around 15 years since i were at the southern, I've proper enjoyed this little jolly. it won't be 15yrs until I'm there again.
