Sea Fishing

Once a year go at sea fishing off the sea wall in Peel. Few more fish caught this year on a nice sunny day, but most were saying it was a poor day. Did fish for about fours hours. The  Creek inn was calling for cold beer. I wonder if Andy and Bob had any luck this year?

Port Erin


 
Some of the places we always go to in Port Erin is the Bayhotel. This sits on the prom and you can sit on the sea wall and enjoy a beer plus the view. They always have about 5 hand pumps on plus real cider. We can use the wifi and when we been there they had groups on. This year it was a beach party with a youth group bands.

Isle Of Man


Back in the isle of man  for just over a week. The walks we did were similar to last year, but we still like going and doing them. But more running this year.
 

 

The first was Port Erin and along the coast to Calf Island. The return is part way along the coast to the Chasm and then cut back though the Cregneash village. Where we come across some pigs rolling in the mud.  From the village its back along the back road into Port Erin.

 

 
The second walk took us on another route we always do. Again from Port Erin up to Bradda head  and along to Fleshwick beech. Then after lunch we head up the next hill northwards where then we return inland to follow a track back to Port Erin. Over the years we have seen a great improvement as the land has recover from a large grass fire. Most of the grass down the sea was destroyed
