Itinerary description

Mountain Biking on The Isle Of Man. The Steam Heritage Trail. A 29 mile Coast To Coast route across the Isle of Man from Peel To Douglas; the capital of the island. After three strenuous days mountain biking across some challenging open country mtb trails on the Island we opted for a more leisurely ride on The Steam Heritage Trail; an old railway line running between the towns of Peel & Douglas. We saw from very strange characters from Isle Of Man folklore along the way and thoroughly enjoyed the relaxing cycle on the old railway line to Douglas. On arrival in Douglas we visited The Bee Gees stature (on the Promenade) which was erected to celebrate the fact that the brothers were actually of Manx origin and born here back in the 1940's & 50's. Before returning to Peel we enjoyed some lunch in Douglas at The Terminus Tavern and later rescued a Seagull on the way 'home'. We finished the day with a nice evening out in the town of Peel.
GPX routes of the trail are included below. The Action Cam footage was filmed with a GoPro Hero11 black. I was riding a Cube Stereo Hybrid TM 160.
