The bus left at 9 for the coastal town of Ramsey via Cronkbourne, a model village. The two rows of houses were once homes for the workers of the nearby factory which produced flax. The factory used the river as a source of power. We arrived in Ramsey to conduct a SWOT analysis of the town. This involved finding the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. After conducting the research in our designated groups, we met as a whole and shared our thoughts. We found the town to be the least aesthetically pleasing of all the towns we have been to. However, we did find some positive points and potential future improvements. We also found out a lot about the people who lived there.
We then had lunch in the small village of Maughold. After our packed lunch we wandered around the nearby ecclesiastical settlement.
We made the short journey to the unique coastal town of Laxey. This town was in complete contrast to Ramsey. Again we conducted a SWOT analysis which highlighted the harmony between urban and rural areas. We visited one of the island's main tourist attractions, the Laxey wheel, which is over 150 years old and is still turning.
After a long and tiring but productive day, we are shortly going out to dinner and a quiz, and possibly to celebrate Arthur Guinness's birthday.
