Well done Nashville visitors Eddie and Hope who scaled the Great Laxey Wheel in blustery conditions this morning. As the weather took a turn for the worse, we adapted the tour to include House of Manannan, Murrays Motorcycle Museum, the Aviation & Military Museum and Castle Rushen before a steam-train ride home. Great day out!
