TT 2010 piccies
My TT started a day earlier than planned as I managed to get over on the Thursday before practice Icon_cool Nice evening to sail too. I always try to go from Liverpool if I can - much nicer surroundings than Heysham.

The Three Graces

One of the best bits is seeing England disappear Bye

I've never sailed with the tide so far out - these are the Antony Gormley sculptures at Crosby

The 250/350 singles race also took place and featured what I believe to be the outstanding moment of the fortnight. Ted Fenwick winning the 250 race at the age of 82. He was best 4 stroke in the 250 race two days later aswell!

RE: TT 2010 piccies
Wednesday evening and too much sun - either deep black shadows or too bright highlights. Couldn't get settled and ended up whizzing about all over the place...

RE: TT 2010 piccies
That's a great shot of Tim and Dips!

I also like the really close up one of Wayne on the outfit.

Get you, complaining about too much sun! Imagine how it is for the riders, especially the sidecars. When I see photos from around the course, I do miss getting out and about and almost regret being stuck at the Grandstand.
