Isle of man


Hi

Would anybody have the gpx files for the Isle of Man as we are going to the tt with the bikes and need to know which routes are legal.

Thanks 

Andy

Hi Andy 

There's no description or outline lines on the TRF mapping (Ray are the TRF doing mapping on the green roads project for IOM?) 

screen shot shows the green roads with an +++ Byway, I would imagine there would be further information displayed at the entrances of the green roads if there was a TRO closure on them 

Stan Watt from rotor adventures in Dorset does a tour on the IOM in TT week, he'd have information on routes or a file 

here

IOM man website has a map displaying green roads as a green continuous line here

That map on the link is probably the best resource, you'll have to make your own gpx using that info unless someone else has already done so. That is an official map because they know they get a lot of trail riding visitors and actually provide something useful. Other local authorities should take note!

I do have the gpx file for the TT course if you want that.

There is no IOM TRF group, and it is not included on GRM (at the moment)

Thanks Ray 

Hopefully there will be a TRF group established on the IOM one day wink

Shame no one has completed the green road map for the IOM as there must be a huge amount of knowledge within the TRF 

Cheers Ian

I've been a couple of times (for the TT so on a road bike) and was pleased to see finger posts with both a horse & rider and trail bike indicating we were welcome. The Isle of Mann is a very enlightened place.

Cheers,
John
