I can't recall the corners that well, I only did three laps.
Brandish is the left hander after the Creg Ny Baa coming down off the Mountain.
Light Bulb Moment ! ... Left Hand Bend - no wonder you wouldn't remember it !
Oh, I walked around that one...
Followed a right around a mini-roundabout/T-junction?
No, followed by Hillberry Corner
- right with minor road (Ballacottier Rd - useful access when roads closed) joining from left
(small grandstand on left before junction)
opposite Council Dept that used to be a Campsite my Grandad ran in his retirement.
Then Cronk Ny Mona
- Sweeping Left (oops!) with minor road (Johnny Waterson's Lane) joining from right (Used to be a cross roads)
Then Signpost (Drum roll!)
-right now a mini roundabout with Hillberry Road joining on left

Told you I'd only been around trice. Don't think I've ever watched the racing.

Instead of tidying the garage like I planned I washed and dropped the oil and filter on my bike ready for next month. I’m hoping we are properly allowed to venture out then I can also get some new tyres as the fronts on about 12k and the rears done a very gentle 5k but has squared off due to those miles being motorway commuting. I’ve had BT023’s the last couple of times but am thinking of a change to PR5s? Or some continental that the tyre guy keeps trying to flog me.
I also need some new gear too as mines all years old is is starting to look shit, old rukka 2 piece and so random cheap boots. I fancy a new helmet too so I can see a few quid going soon.

I'd say Angel GTs. I've had PR4s delaminate so won't buy Michelin as the customer service over it was shocking.
Mind you I'm currently running Metezler Roadtec 01s & can't fault them. The first rear didn't last, but it wasn't heavy bike spec (HWM printed on the side) this one is but the damned plague bollocks has stopped me putting any mileage on it. The front is lasting well & they did work well in the cold & wet winter, back in the days we lived in a free country.
