I woke up to heavy rain on my one day on the Isle of Man, but had an idea how I could see much of the island and stay relatively dry. Join me onboard The Manx Electric Railway as we ride the full length of the route from Douglas up to Ramsey. It's not the day I had planned, but that's travel and that's weather, so let's get out there and make the most of it.

I don’t pretend to be a travel expert, but I love what I do and would be honoured if you came along with me. My channel focusses on the wide-eyed wonder and excitement of finding somewhere new, and my genuine reaction to it. You might not get a history lesson in my videos, but who knows, you might pick up some useful travel tips along the way, add a few destinations to your bucket list and hopefully be entertained by what you see. Thanks for watching, it means a lot to me :)
I do ALL of this myself. Planning, filming, editing, promoting, all with a weekly upload schedule, so please understand not every video will be an epic adventure. But my pledge is to always do my best in any situation.

FAQs:
WHERE ARE YOU FROM?
I was born in Glasgow but have lived in Carnoustie, Dalgety Bay, Stonehaven, Edinburgh, Montrose, and further afield (Salamanca, Spain & Devonport, New Zealand)
WHEN DO YOU UPLOAD?
Saturdays at 10am Scottish time. Occasionally a bonus midweek video will pop up.
WHAT EQUIPMENT DO YOU USE?
I film with a GoPro11 and my iPhone12. I edit on iMovie and use epidemicsound.com for music. I also use canva.com for thumbnails etc.
WHY DON'T YOU SPEND LONGER AT DESTINATIONS?
The usual suspects I'm afraid - time and money! Hotels especially these days make my eyes water like a true Scotsman.
WHERE'S ALICJA?
Alicja will feature as often as possible, but I'm afraid she has a proper job so it can take weeks for our schedules to match up.
DO YOU PAY FOR YOUR OWN TRAVEL?
Yes I do. I've only ever accepted a complementary ticket as compensation for a previous problem. All my opinions are frank and honest reflections of travel as I experience it.
WHY THE ADS?
It's my income, I can't do this for free.
CAN I CONTACT YOU?
I used to list my email address but felt bad not having the capacity to respond to everything so took it down (and I got a LOT of spam so missed many genuine messages along the way).
HOW CAN I SUPPORT THE CHANNEL?
Watching my videos is of course support enough, but if you'd like to support further, I'll pop links below for Paypal and Patreon. All kind donations are super-appreciated and will go 100% towards future filming trips.
DO YOU ACCEPT SPONSORSHIPS?
I don't like to upset the flow of my videos, so I don't even include mid-roll ads anymore (at significant loss of income to myself), so I prefer not to include sponsorships either. I'm open to a small slide at the start/end of each video, but I don't want to get into talking about products, it's something I don't like as a viewer myself (especially as a viewer who pays for KZfaq Premium). So it's probably a polite no, although all of this goes out the window if you offer me something which can give me the chance to make a video for my audience that would otherwise be impossible.

I have never been to the IOM but when I see the weather in August and what we have lived here in my part of France with temps in the 40s and not a cloud in the sky. It's been very difficult.

If the weather isn't too inclement the tram usually has an open carriage at the back. All very old school, no safety rail, so on that rocky outcrop bit north of Laxey you can lean out and look down......

The brolly challenge near the beginning reminded me of when I was once at Eastbourne in midsummer and was unable to walk along the prom because of the wind and rain. I had to walk along a road one street back instead, protected by the buildings. Ah, summer.

We love the fact that you film in all weathers, and give us a genuine appreciation of your destinations, not just the sunny weather! That said, I love watching rainy day videos. Especially in our blazing Australian summer when the sight of rain is so welcome.

Despite the weather, the Isle of Man seems an absolute gem. A friend goes bike riding there when the bike festival is on but for my taste, the forests and peaceful look of the countryside look very appealing. You convinced me: I shall try to get there one day. Your views of the stormy sea in Douglas are captivating, with the waves flowing backwards, impressive gulls' acrobatics. Thank you for bringing forward the beauty of this bleak day.

You were right. This was a VERY interesting video. We sat in our comfy chairs here in the US and thoroughly enjoyed every minute. Everything was so enchanting to us. When we watch your videos we usually try to imagine what every day life is like in those places. Despite constantly being at odds with the elements, The Isle of Man seems surprisingly relaxing. Thanks for this and all of your videos! 😊

I'm manx and I can tell you better weather than UK yh we get bad days but we have nicer summers and milder winters but 80 something% of the island is nature lots of glens very friendly people who will go out of their way to help total strangers very nice place. We have 0 homeless people as being homeless is against the law it's not a crime but if you find yourself without a place to live then by law the police or other services have to provide accommodation even if it's a hotel till you can they can find you somewhere permanent

What a lovely place to visit Steve, shame about the weather down below but when you went up on the tram it looked beautiful; loved the scenic shots. The horses were lovely, there's something so nice about 'the good ole days' and their transport methods back then. Thank you for letting us come along with you 🥰
