I had a chance to chat to a few people in the Mooragh Park in Ramsey tonight as we waited for the presentation at the Lakeside Cafe after the Northern 10km run.
And I received a complaint from Roy Crellin - "When are you going to publish some more photos of buses?". Well, here is the next best thing from my late father's connection. Its a coach parked in the old car park at Mooragh Park just yards from where Roy and I were chatting over a cup of tea. It was taken in 1969 and as Roy was celebrating his 40th birthday last night, it means he wasn't born when the photo of the Duple coach in Isle of Man Road Services livery was taken.
Exceeding the speed at which the coaches were allowed to drive through the park tonight was Andy Barron who took 34 minutes and a bit to run the 10km. Mike Garrett (35.03) was second and Charlie Pass close behind in third.
And there was a connection with buses for 4th place as Jason Moore, who set a Manx age group record of 35.16, is the son of Barry who keeps the current fleet on the road.
Did I mention coaching advice? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duple_Coachbuilders
