Practice
at Ballaugh
for the
TT centenary 2007
Having
delayed until a decent hour before descending on our wonderful
hosts for the duration, we rested up then made
for Ballaugh Bridge for our first practice session.
Just
getting off the circuit before the road is closed, by the time
we walk back from the bikes, all the best spots are taken up by
Germans, Poles, Australians, French etc. This TT lark is evidently
of great interest to people beyond the UK.
The
weather is cloudy and when the sun comes through, it is on the
wrong side of the road for the best photos. Or is it us that are
on the wrong side of the road? Either way, the road is closed
and neither are about change sides, so we have to make the most
of it.
Initially,
we fail to get close to the bridge to photograph the bikes as
they take-off over the hump. As it turns out, just past the Raven
Country Inn gives a pretty good photo opportunity, so all is not
lost.
