Memories of the IoM


Great Memories from the Isle of Man TT - 2018

Below, a great photo by my new mate, London Cop, John Cannon of me laying on the hedgerow just down from the famous Creg-ny-Baa corner.

The Creg-ny-Baa corner itself, has a pub and a small, a temporary grandstand and is a right-hand turn, located between the 34th and the 35th milestone markers on the Snaefell Mountain Course section of the track.


Me, perched among the foliage on the hedgerow and closely watching
the bikes power back up to 'straight speed' after negotiating the
nearby Creg-ny-Baa corner. Here you really get the sensation of speed.

The roads are open to two-way public traffic for most of the year, but are closed during practice times and races.


The famous Creg-ny-Baa corner where the Creg-ny-Baa Hotel stands
providing a perfect vantage point as the riders slow down to take the sharp turn
*Note the Aussie flag on the balcony

Me, trying to check my photographic action results in bright
daylight 
on my Apple iPad near the Creg-ny-Baa corner.
