Former hoteliers abandoned careers to travel the world full-time in a motorhome

Two race fans, from Scotland and Australia, have been fined for attempting to bring drugs to the Isle of Man. The substances were hidden in a campervan's composting toilet. The driver was also uninsured.

Despite a rainy week affecting the TT races, campers on the Isle of Man remain in high spirits. Many visitors have been staying at campsites that have been wetter than usual in early June. Racing is expected to resume on June 5. Ballaugh Campsite is equipped with TVs, a lounge area, and a nearby pub for those waiting in the rain.

Glenlough Campsite in Union Mills has submitted a planning application for five motorhome hardstandings. The new pitches will be located within areas already used by motorhomes and will not involve site expansion. The proposal also includes new internal access tracks and clearance of low scrub. The applicant describes it as a 'sensible and proportionate enhancement' of an existing tourism facility.

On the morning of March 23, a camper van caught fire at Ronaldsway Industrial Estate. Two fire appliances responded; the blaze threatened a nearby building. Electrical faults are a common cause of such fires.
