Glen Helen

One of the promises I made myself was to walk more 'Glens' on the island.  With plenty of race related activities eating away at time, I only made it to 2 this trip.  Glen Helen is a relaxed walk through treed paths, with flowing water rushing along side.
 It is so peaceful....
 Shirley stopped to enjoy the view
 No matter where you looked, the rush of water was close by.
 The other side of the path glistened with moist vegetation
 When we arrived at the end of the Glen, 
we were rewarded with a fabulous waterfall. 
 We turned around and headed back....and clocked over 4 kilometers!
 
   All that walking gave us quite the appetite, 
so we splurged on dinner out...


Almost time to go home......

Glen Helen

One of my objectives here on the island is to visit as many Glens as possible.
Today it was Glen Helen's turn
Our friends and cottage mates





An early Victorian fountain

Our next stop was to visit Tony East's private museum, A.R.E.
Ever ridden a GRANITE motorcycle?



Our last stop was a visit to Ramsey harbour.
It certianly was 'low tide'


Off to the races tomorrow!
