Two Manxmen say a challenging mountain trek in the footsteps of history has sparked memories which will last a lifetime.
Honorary Colonel Charles Wilson and orthopaedic surgeon Tony Green took part in a walk along the Pyrenean Freedom Trail - or Chemin de la Liberte.
It was the route taken by escapees - both soldiers and civilians - in the second world war, fleeing (occupied) Vichy France into neutral Spain.
Speaking at the end of the trek, Major Wilson – who was raising money for the Island's poppy appeal – said it was memorable.
