'Manxie Dog' tackles TT course

Funds being raised for Rebecca House

The TT may have been cancelled, but one lap of the Mountain Course is being attempted on Saturday - by a man in a dog costume.

Jim MacGregor, a geography teacher at St Ninian's High School and dog handler with the Search and Rescue Dog Association (SARDA), is raising money for Rebecca House, the children's hospice.

He set off from the grandstand in Douglas at 6am and is doing the lap in reverse, heading towards the Mountain Road first.

If you see him out and about today you're asked to give him a beep and a wave in support.

There are no collection buckets because of social distancing rules, but donations can be made via JustGiving.
