Saturday 21st Jauary 2012

Despite the forecast, the morning was bright, though windy. Dave had heard on the radio that the Cronk-y-voddy ploughing match was on today so, we decided to go to Peel first then head to the match.

We parked near the footbridge, walked across to Fennella then got blown around the castle. A final walk around the harbour before heading back to the car. Peel on the whole, was quite dull with the odd bit of sunlight breaking through.







We then headed to the ploughing match. We wanted to be there early as, in the past we had arrived as it was almost over. The sun came out in parts, brightening up the field. There were a lot of people with DSLR's plus a couple of video cameras. There were a lot of opportunities for capturing candid shots















After lunch, we headed to Onchan Park. There were nice views across to Douglas Head but, little else to capture our imagination


From there we headed to Laxey for a walk along the beach.






We headed back into Ramsey. As the tide was out, we thought we would have a wander along the harbour to see if we could find the Kingfisher. On arrival in Ramsey, the cold wind soon changed our minds about being outside so, we headed home for coffee.

  3. Look forward to seeing the results Brenda!

    Thanks, my hubby saw a competition organised but couldn't remember where then Dave heard it on the radio - they are great for getting candids and good for the old tractors/ ploughs and of course the horses
