Good afternoon everyone,
Our next week away is to the Isle of Man in 3 weeks time. This will be our third island this year!
We may see grey seals and basking sharks, huge red jelly fish, and hopefully birds.
Has anyone any tips on where to go? The Calf of Man may not be suitable as it doesn't allow dogs, but apart from that I am open to all suggestions.
Cheers, Linda.

How funny! What a mischevious Solo/Seagull lol
Well, you'll get all you desire in the Isle of Man. it's like going back in time (except Douglas which is quite busy)
and sooo beautiful. Have a drive round the TT track - it will take you through differing sceneries. And if you go to the top of Snaefell, the highest point in the IoM, on a clear day you can see 6 kingdoms: the Isle of Man, Scotland, England, Ireland, Wales and the kingdom of the sky.
Enjoy

It sounds wonderful Pipit, and I know we will enjoy every minute.
Hi Sparrow, I agree with all that has been said and even better you are going before the school holidays begin. The only thing I would add, is, don't forget to say Hello to the fairies when you cross the fairy bridge.
Hi,
remember to sea watch off the ferry- I used the huge hydrofoil- I saw Kittiwake, Little gull, gannets and Arctic Skuas
