Event moves into the modern era
This year will see the Manx Telecom Parish Walk move into the modern era, with a brand new check-in system.
Previous years have seen participants use a dongle to confirm they'd made it to each checkpoint on the 85-mile course.
However, 2018 will see a new innovation make its debut at the event.
