| dbo:abstract | The Mountain Mile is a 1.3 mile (2.09 km) section of a purpose-built graded road situated between the 27th and 29th Milestone roadside markers on the Snaefell Mountain Course used for the Isle of Man TT and Manx Grand Prix races on the A18 Mountain Road in the parish of Lezayre in the Isle of Man. The Mountain Mile begins at the nearby Guthrie's Bridge at the 27th Milestone and incorporates the former East Snaefell sheep-gate, East (Snaefell) Mountain Gate and the Mountain Box. The A18 Snaefell mountain road was developed in the mid-nineteenth century from a number of pre-existing roads and bridle paths. This included the building of a number of sheep-gates including the East Mountain Gate, the Beinn-y-Phott sheep-gate and Keppel Gate. The primary A18 Mountain Road section from Park Lewellyn (North Barrule) to Keppel Gate is a product of the Disaforesting Commission of 1860. This section of the A18 Mountain Road was purpose built, reflecting typical nineteenth century highway and railway construction practices with many small scale cuttings, embankments and revetments which follows land contours with purpose built graded-sections. For the 1934 Isle of Man TT races major alterations to the Mountain Course occurred, including the removal of the East Snaefell Mountain sheep-gate. The Mountain Mile was part of the Highland Course and Four Inch Course used for the Gordon Bennett Trial and Tourist Trophy car races held between 1904 and 1922, since 1911 for the TT, and from 1923 for the Manx Grand Prix races. (en) De Mountain Mile is een ongeveer 2,1 km lang deel van de Snaefell Mountain Course op het eiland Man. Het ligt globaal tussen de 27e en de 29e mijlpaal op de A18 Mountain Road tussen Ramsey en Douglas in de parochie . De A18 werd halverwege de 19e eeuw aangelegd. Daarvoor moesten een aantal schaapspoorten worden gebouwd, zoals het "East Mountain Gate", het "Beinn-y-Phott Gate" en "Keppel Gate". Het gedeelte tussen Keppel Gate en Park Lewellyn is een product van de Disaforesting Commission van 1860. Voor de Isle of Man TT van 1934 werden er veranderingen aangebracht, waaronder het verwijderen van het "East Snaefell sheep-gate". De Snaefell Mountain Course wordt gebruikt voor de Isle of Man TT en de Manx Grand Prix. De Mountain Mile maakte ook deel uit van de Highroads Course en de Four Inch Course, die gebruikt werden voor de en de van 1904 tot 1922. De Mountain Mile begint ongeveer bij Guthrie's Memorial en omvat het voormalige "East Snaefell sheep-gate" en de tegenwoordige markante punten Mountain Box en East (Snaefell) Mountain Gate. (nl) |
