Just a couple of pictures taken on recent cycle rides along the old railway track between Peel and Douglas . Most of the track is a tree lined rough trail but this one section in the lower photo is paved for access to properties. This spot is approx. 5 miles to the sea from either direction and the two hills in the background are Greeba and Slieau Ruy. There is a brass plate with the name Slieau Ruy [ Red Mountain ] stamped on it and fastened to my front door.....but that's another story .! The old railway line follows the Central Valley which runs across the centre of the Island; it is so low lying that a rise in sea level of only a few feet would result in the Isle of Man becoming the Isles of Man
