Three local men who tried to get to Switzerland and back in 48 hours have vowed to try again after failing at the weekend.
Paul Hunt and Charlie Murray, with support rider John Turner, tried the 2,000 mile trip at the weekend to raise cash for the Joey Dunlop Foundation, the TT Marshal's Association, the rescue helicopter and Isle of Man Motorsport Medical Services.

Charlie says he's determined to reach the goal next year:
