Jo, Charlie, and I rode our motorbikes from London up to the Isle of Man for the notorious TT races. We camped in a campsite with other festival goers outside of Douglas, and spent a long weekend witnessing some of the most incredible skill and bravery I’ve ever seen in my life.
The course takes place on closed public roads and is 37.5 miles long, and the record is held at just under 136mph average speed, with speeds reaching up to 200mph. Spectators can move around the island and watch from the roadside, sometimes from insanely close distances.

Our first evening watching the TT qualifying, we were absolutely blown away by the speeds that these riders would travel at.
