Day 2: Physical Landscape of the Isle of Man


Today we had a very enjoyable day and a windy day also. Our first stop off was at the East Baldwin Valley. The is part of the route of the TT Races. In the valley we measured height and location using the GPS and compass to create a cross section of the valley. After a brief stop over at the Sulby Reservor, we had a very pleasant lunch at Ramsey. In the afternoon we explored the Northern Lower Plains and we saw evidence of glaciation in the coastal region. An unforgettable visit was to "Jurby Junk", the biggest junkshop in Europe!! The scenic route on the way back to our accommodation was stunning. In the very far distance we caught a glimpse of Sellafield. Overall a very enjoyable and educational day.
