Manxman into Heysham
Is anyone interested in details of how to best see Manxman when it first sails into Heysham?
whenever that happens to be or first scheduled arrival 22nd July, around lunchtime.

RE: Manxman into Heysham
bit far for me to go unfortunately down here in wurzel country! It's supposed to be doing a berthing trial at Heysham before it starts service so you may get to see it a bit sooner. Looking at the tracker, it seems to be doing a round the island thingy - it's going up the west coast at the moment

It is indeed, seemingly successfully berthed on the central linkspan! I nearly missed it, got up late!
I've also a "handheld" timelapse here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYopHiRCT8M
