Skyhill near Ramsey

@@johncarson2128 thanks 👍

I'm glad someone noticed, good to hear from you again Steve. Still haven't spotted a wallaby, are you sure they exist :)

@@johncarson2128 100%! I'm over again for MGP and again on the 11th Sept for 5 nights. I'll double check for you! 😉

There's more than you can shake a stick at there-A weeks worth I'd say.

Is nice that he waits for the camera guy to catch up.

​​@@davyprossI'm lucky to be able to follow him and learn.

Or mains! 😮

When sparks do fitting work............😂

​@@garethcornish4377I should have welded it on 😂

I don't but I've a pdf map of the lanes I could send you

Access road is at the side of the Glen Mona hotel at the Laxey end of Glen Mona village.

Many thanks

I usually do it in the opposite direction, especially when I've got company as the first section is pretty tough. It's been a while since I done it that way, surprised me how steep the hill is (Just after the hard bit at the start) and how long the steep bit goes on for. It does level out quite a bit after that and sort of feels like you are riding around the side of the hills without too big a change in elevation. Its a great trail, I'll get the bottom section sorted without stopping next year, someone told me I just need to give it more beans 😀

😂give it some bollocks!

I've now all winter to plot my way up it, it's flippin nasty :o) You've been quiet lately, any biking adventures this year?

Just Wild Atlantic Way - (June) still havent got around to editing on-bike footage.... Hope to upload soon. Took a guy around TT week - fell off on Slieau Whallian rocks and really bruised shoulder (the good one !) needless to say - last track of the day ! havent been out on Honda since... Shoulder was a bit of a nuisance on Ireland trip...! OK now. Just bought a couple of Kayaks. Good in this hot weather !! :P @@johncarson2128

ua-cam.com/video/Dpkna3V6dJA/v-deo.htmlsi=jvtmMoFeod8SLjNl So that's how it's done 😅

The Kings Guest House on Queens Promenade. The girl that runs it is called Sue. Nice to hear from you guys again 👍🏻 <edit> I have Mikes phone number, can whatsapp him some updated stuff and more details on the guesthouse if you want?

ua-cam.com/video/hrSVyMeHojw/v-deo.html Roger, the guest house is at the end of this video, even has a garage to keep your bikes cosy in 👍

@johncarson2128 thanks John. We may see you next year. Keep those videos coming.

That was demonstration of minimal effort and efficiency, you too can attain that level if you keep practising 👍

I swerved to miss a Wallaby, honestly Steve 🤣

@@johncarson2128 Ha Ha! Good one-I'll use that next time!

I'm a visitor on the Island, I've got to be reasonably familiar with the trail locations. I'd recommend getting in touch with Trail Riding Isle of Man or Manx Track & Trails if you are a visitor.

I have been many times but each time get lost I follow John whittles routes how did u get on with the slot route worst on island

@@GaryParnaby-hc9ih Not sure where you mean by the slot route? Hardest trail on the Island by far is the Hard slabs on the Sound Road (Doarlish Cashen) I'm not good enough for it so I avoid, it's the only one I don't do though.

Yes that’s the one I walked down it nearly finished me off 3 of us nearly 60 years of age way above our ability good videos to watch many thanks

@@GaryParnaby-hc9ih I'm 59, I feel your pain 😃

It is, shoulders and arms are usually killing me by the top gate but this time I had a short rest mid trail which helped :)

Start point just North of Laxey, finishes in Glen Mona

@@johncarson2128 thanks very much(With a bit of luck, I might be able to find it😀👍)

They are all on your map Steve, if you look at the videos extended description <more> I've named the trails 👍🏻

@@johncarson2128 yes, I knew they would be. I obviously need to make a special effort next time I'm over. No idea when that will be on a trail bike though. Yet.

It is Steve, I appear to get caught up in a gorse bush at one point, not sure how that happened 🤣

@@johncarson2128 yes, and you looked as if you were going to dive into the bank I headbutted earlier on! 😏

@@stevebrown7584 I definitely didn't headbutt anything, result 👍🏻

Don't have any routes recorded as such, the last trail wouldn't have followed the other 3, I don't record everything and it's just how I edited it.

You should have an email Gary

@John Carson thanks got email.... already subscribe to you .. that's why I asked.....regards gaz

Hi Steve, good to hear from you. You and Mick back over for the ManxGP again? As for my non crash (It didn't happen) it's an accepted norm like the 10 second rule for food on the floor 😀

@@johncarson2128 not planned to be there at all this year, too much other stuff going on. I do plan to go over in October with another group but sadly no trail riding involved. If that changes I'll warn you. 😉

I don't mind 'motorwaying' Unless of course that means chucking huge rocks on the trail like at Glen Mona or the Dowse 🤣

@@johncarson2128 ooh - rocks are good ! :P its when they literally 'tarmac' or gravel surface them ... :/

Yeah, not so many in the south, but start at Quinne's Hill then that trail at Murrays, one at Ballabeg, one over by the sloc and the one at Bradda East make a visit to Castletown worthwhile and that is always a good thing for this tourist 😀

@@johncarson2128 The boards at Sky Hill are a lot easier to get on now ....! (used to be a little 4 inch plank!)
