majkul 16 Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 He abandoned his kids... And her kids are now in self-isolation, not being able to see their family at Christmas. Lovely couple. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You can do Ramsey to Castletown over the tops in less than 8 hours - that's hard. IF he walked over the mountain road (with THE rucksack), that's the best part of 16 miles (assuming Anagh Coar); at 3 miles an hour, so just over 5 hours walk. Round the coast road is further, therefore longer. His local route knowledge would appear to be remarkable too...? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't believe the story but as for local route knowledge that is easily explained by Google Maps or a similar app. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
manxman1980 1,569 Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 @Declan So someone who had never ridden a jet ski before, can't swim and who appears to have no previous experience with a sea going vessel or knowledge of the Irish Sea somehow manages to safely make the trip in December? Not only that but he arrives in Ramsey with only 10 minutes of fuel left. If you believe that then he is one hell of a lucky guy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gladys 7,423 Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 So back home then? Perhaps he doesn't love her as much as he thought. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

the stinking enigma 11,448 Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 (edited) He'll need a holiday after this ordeal.

the stinking enigma 11,448 Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 I've done the maths, he could probably get there in an hour and a half, weather permitting. One fuel stop, maybe 2 at the most. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Chief 153 Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 So i assume that his island 'beau' will be packing her stuff up right now to go off and join him in his luxurious Scottish abode. They apparently can't bear to be apart according to the interviews. Still waiting for someone to explain how we are short of roofers on the island the ad's in the backs of the papers would seem to disagree. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
