Gooseneck, Isle of Man
Gooseneck, Isle of Man〔''Isle of Man Ramsey Courier'' page 2 22 May 1914 MOTOR CAR SMASHES - TOURIST TROPHY RACES EXCITING INCIDENTS "....at the awkward bend in the ''Mountain Road'', the scene of many 'spills' in the past and known as the ''Gooseneck'', about a mile or so beyond the Hairpin Corner."〕 ((マン島語:Roan – the reddish land)),〔''Place Names of the Isle of Man'' by John Kneen MA pp526 (1970) Yn Cheshaght Ghailckagh The Scolar Press〕 an acute uphill right-bend on the Snaefell Mountain Course used for the TT motorcycle races between the 25th and 26th Milestone racing road-side markers, is situated on the A18 Snaefell Mountain Road, a main two-way thoughfare from Ramsey to Douglas with an adjacent side-road junction for the minor D28 Hibernia Road in the parish of Maughold in the Isle of Man.
An historic location on the TT race course after the climb up from Ramsey demarking the end of the tree-line and start of the Mountain section, the Gooseneck is a popular vantage point for the spectators and a traditional signalling point for TT riders' intermediate race timings from their own back-up crews, one of a number of points around the course where the race machines slow enough to get a good look at the signal boards on the exit.〔''Motor Cycle'' 24 June 1965, p.843, (caption, Governor's Bridge/Glencrutchery Road ): "Jim Redman on his two-fifty Honda six howls past Derek Clarke, signalling at the end of lap 4, that Jim is about 110 secondds ahead of Mike Duff''". Accessed 2015-06-26〕 For the same reason, the location has always been popular with professional photographers and film-crews.
The Gooseneck is surrounded by open moorland and uncultivated grazing land of Park Mooar, the Rhowin and North Barrule in the Northern Uplands in the Isle of Man.〔''Ramsey Courier'' page 1 24 April 1936 "TRESPASSES NOTICE - Any person trespassing on the Estates of Ballure (Reservoir), The Rhowin, Park Mooar or North Ballure, with gun, dog or ferret will be prosecuted. BY ORDER"〕
