Work in progress .
This year has got off to a very promising adventurous start for me. I went on a large ferry after a car journey to Heysham and sailed across the sea to the Isle of Man. You may remember my earlier blogs about ferry trips to the Hebrides but this was a bit longer crossing and I had a special cabin, there was even a special tree for me to water in the dog exercise area.

I spent a few days on the Isle of Man, the weather was very wet and stormy for a couple of days but I was able to get out to interesting places and best of all a lot of the places I visited allowed well behaved humans to accompany their dogs. I thought the best way to show you what I got up to was to add photos and caption the photos.

After a pleasant walk around the castle headland I saw a tiny car, the Peel-P50 pootling around Peel harbour, it would be great for me and one of my humans. Another port of call for a walk was Port Erin in the south of the island where I had an interesting walk from Bradda Glen to Bradda Head to visit Milner's Tower, it was a short walk but a reasonable climb up to the tower. The weather was fairly good with not much wind and just a light shower. In fact some of the best weather for the whole stay on the island.

Only a short drive north of Port Erin and another short walk to Niarbyl and Niarbyl Bay on the east coast. The sun came out and I had the chance to explore a rocky cove and look out across the bay.

Wheely interesting stuff! Two waterwheels at Laxey, the big one is famous, the smaller one interesting too.

All too soon it was time to leave the Isle of Man, I left on an evening sailing in the dark so I slept most of the way on the sea crossing and then slept again on the drive home.
Wags and woofs,
