Another spur of the moment trip coming up for the Icecube: I've decided to
go with a reprehensible old mate to the Isle of Man for a long weekend,
starting off Friday night. I've never been there before so quite looking
forward to a drive around the island and sampling the local fare. Anyone
recommend anything particular to go and see? Will be staying at a decent
hotel in Douglas but got all day Sat and Sun to wander about (heading home
Monday afternoon).
:-))

Only ever been there once, (many moons ago), the things that stick out in my
mind as worth a visit are the motorcycle museum at the top of the 'hill',
the waterwheel at Laxey and Jurby point, (or Jurby Head - can't remember
which). Also worth doing, is the TT course as fast as you like, (there are
no speed restrictions out of the towns on the Island) :-))
