Isle of Man Ep 6 Ramsey

I could watch dogs having fun all day too. Enjoyed seeing the big dog with its auxiliary dog as well.

When I have a rough day at work. I long to watch your vlogs before I go to bed. Your vlogs brings me joy and hope for a better tomorrow 😊 Thank you so much for putting in the hours to making these vlogs. Greatly appreciated 🙏

Great place 🙂👍

[@andybrockbank3027]

Royal Ramsey - had many childhood holidays there staying in a guest house on Brookhill Road. Memories of Mooragh Park and seeing the Belfast Steamer call in at Queens Pier. So envious. 😀

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Would love to have seen the steamer and the train running along the pier 😀

[@sarahstrong7174]

What a lovely place to eat, with the sound of the waves.

[@ray7288]

Maughold is "Mack-hold"! Also, when crossing the tram lines listening for the whistle of the tram (more of a hoot really) - and anyway the rattling old things make enough noise... Shoprite is not associated with Sainsbury, just sell their stuff. It started as a "pile it high/sell it cheap" place, but not an independent chain in the Island only. On the northern prom you parked on you can still see the holes in the promenade footpath that once held the posts for barbed wire, as the boarding houses were a POW camp during WW2, and at the end of the war they just filled in the holes and it hasn't been resurfaced yet! As a small boy I remember the steamers arriving at the Queen's Pier - the whole thing shook at it hit! the last time I was seasick was on a minesweeper - tied up at the pier :-( Love the videos, making me homesick, though don't miss the cold, wind and rain...

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Thanks for the information and memories. It must have been a lovely sight to see those ships docking at the pier. I hope they can find the money needed to restore it further. Glad you like the videos and they are bringing back memories. Quite a few more to come 👍

[@nigeldavey1043]

Now then you two, no piggy back riding on the beach. You'll frighten the Donkeys. 😬. You gave me a giggle with that. Poor Carol trotting up the sand with a burly copper on her back. My Grandad ( on mums side of the family ) lived on Hayling Island and this trip puts me very much in mind of that. As you and I have both observed, it's a trip back in time for driving and parking conditions. My first wife had a cousin who live in Douglas on the isle of Man. Whenever she came over she would fly and rent a car as it was apparently cheaper than bringing your own on the ferry. Thirty years ago she used to say traffic was sparse and it doesn't look like it's changed much. Ken, you need to do what my son used to do when he'd go back home for a week or two and stay with his grandparents. He made a sign from some cardboard and wrote on it with marker pens " Feed the Bears ". I didn't bother to ask if it worked, my mum was Jewish she fed the bloomin' world, never mind the ruddy bears. 🐻

[@LifeistooshortCK]

My mum was the same, always plenty of food. I loved driving on the island because it is still quiet. We used to have family holidays on Hayling Island in a rented caravan, bit like Butlins only cheaper. Great entertainment in those days 😀

[@nigeldavey1043]

@@LifeistooshortCK My grandad had a small site with a bun gal and two or three Van's on it. We went down often in the summer. Do you remember Sprinkos store ? They used to rent out those funny four wheeled bikes. All the large caravan sites had a clubhouse and the acts used to go from one to the other on a sort of rotor basis. If I think about it I can still smell the gas lamps in the caravan when you first lit them.🤔😬

[@CamperVanya]

Very relaxing and lovely music as you just watched the world go by at the beach👌

Well worth getting your van over there for sure 😁👍

[@craigavonvideo]

Nice to see Ramsey seafront again. Hopefully you went into Mooragh Park. I remember as a child there being little motorboats on the lake that you could hire and sail around in. There's also a climb up to a viewpoint at the rear of the lake (or at least there was) that gives you a great vista across Royal Ramsey. You should have contacted Big Clive and you could have had a quick KZbin meetup as he lives in Ramsey. I would have thought that the Manx Tourist Board would have camping permits - not sure where they are in Ramsey, but their main base is in the Sea Terminal in Douglas. Oh, and the lighhouse is pronounced "Mack-Eld".

Thanks for all the info 🙂👍

Ooh Ramsey is lovely and while you're up there why not go to the Ayres, the very top of the Island. A favourite with campers. Hopefully you'll visit Peel and Port Erin to see their gorgeous beaches. Also on the west is Niarbyl (the cottage has featured in a few films ie Waking Ned) but park in the cafe carpark seeing as you don't like steep roads haha! Make sure you pop into Fenella Beach by Peel Castle and go down south right along to the end of Port Erin prom where you'll be able to park the van. They sell great pizza that end and some lovely drinkies to be had at Foraging Vintners (both ends). Some gorgeous views if you go back over the Sloc to Peel. We have some beautiful plantations too, with plenty of parking and fun things to do. The Coffee Cottage is a great place to get a cuppa at South Barrule plantation and some interesting things to see. Glad you're enjoying yourselves :)

@@LifeistooshortCK For some reason I’m blocked from commenting directly on your channel? Therefore I’ll comment here for your future reference, it may also help anyone else wishing to stay overnight in a camper/motorhome at Smeale which you promote in a later episode. You are only allowed to stay at Smeale if you have a permit to do so and the vehicle must have its own toilet facility. There is a three consecutive nights stay rule in force as well. No fires and BBQ’s must be off ground. Certain areas may be roped off to protect nesting birds. The large orange ‘Beach Buddies’ wheelie bins found on beaches are for jetsam only and not general waste. Smeale is patrolled by a security company, I’m guessing you were lucky not to have been challenged. Because of the small size of your vehicle and because you parked on the concrete, your presence may have fooled passing patrols into thinking you were dog walkers and that may be why you weren’t challenged. We stay at Smeale regularly during the season and are regularly asked to show our permit. They take vehicle registration numbers too so that they can check the three nigh maximum stay is not ignored, it also assists them to know which vehicles to turn away because 15 is the maximum number permitted to stay on any night during the season. I’m commenting here as I said because someone has blocked me from commenting directly on your channel?

0:48 "Nar Box" - Ken, this one isn't listed in your Amazon link, could you put it on please? I'd like to know more about it. Thanks...

Hi. I don’t list it as I am not sure it’s good value for money. Search for Gnarbox 2.0 SSD for more information about it 👍

@@LifeistooshortCK Thank you, will have a look. Anything not working well with it? I had something similar 20 years ago.(PCMCIA to 2.5" HDD, USB 1.0 - slow!)

@@hellowallace it let me down on a recent trip and it needed to be re-flashed using a PC so I had to wait until I got home. Since doing that its worked very well. I like that all you have to do is feed it SD cards and it does the rest without intervention.

@@LifeistooshortCK Thank you...Maybe it is still safer to bring a laptop on a trip, just in case.
