GUN
TO TAPE VICTORY FOR PAUL CLARKE IN ISLE OF MAN BANK PEEL TO
DOUGLAS RUN
20 seconds or so into the race the runners reach photographer
Stan Hall and already Paul has a big lead.
Mike Garrett and Peter Hughes race for third place in yesterday's
Isle of Man Bank Peel to Douglas run. The picture was taken
by Stan Hall and as he took it Peter quipped: "I haven't
had my picture taken so much since my wedding!". As
well as Stan and myself taking pictures for this website (many
more still to come) there were John Watterson and John Maddrell
clicking for Isle of Man Newspapers and a host of personal photographers.
