THE Isle of Man Walking Festival continues today (Tuesday) with the second day of walking various routes around the Island. Weather conditions have improved considerably since yesterday’s downpour and the forecast for the remainder of the week is much better.
There are six walks today. Port Erin to Peel (13.5 miles): follows the coastal paths through Fleshwick, Niarbyl and Glen Maye; Port Erin - Chasms (4.8 miles): a snaking walk taking in the thatched village of Cregneash and the ancient Meayll Hill monument; Hibernian - Corrany (4.4 miles): following greenway tracks and coastal paths including the ruins of Park Llewellyn; Colby Glen - Baie ny Carrickey (4.3 miles): through a lovely burn and wooded gorge and on to the wide expanse of Baie ny Carrickey; Ramsey Town Boundary Walk (5.5 miles): takes in Sulby Glen, Glen Auldyn, Albert Tower, Ballure Glen and the beach back to Ramsey.
Walkers on the Coastal Path Walk will cover the most demanding stage of their walk, travelling from The Chasms, through The Sound, Port Erin, Fleshwick, The Sloc and finishing in Dalby.
Those covering the second leg of the Millennium Way will walk between Crosby and Castletown, taking in Marown, St Patrick’s Chair and Campbell’s Bridge as well as St Mark’s village, the Monk’s Bridge and Rushen Abbey.
The social event this evening at the Villa Marina Promenade Suite is a jazz night featuring the Jazz Aces, starting at 7.30pm.
