  Mr Corlett said their arrival was "very emotional" and they were "looking forward to watching the TT races".
  The men also travelled on a container ship, nine car ferries, a banana boat and travelled 621 miles on trains.
  Mr Corlett said: "I'm really looking forward to letting our hair down and enjoying the races."
  "It was a big relief to get here and we were very emotional arriving in Douglas. I'm a little bit sad for it to be over but it's a real sense of achievement getting here."
  The men, who dreamt up the idea after hearing they were to made redundant, have had to cope with floods, soaring temperatures, snow showers and dust clouds on their way.
  Around 45,000 visitors are expected during this year's Isle of Man TT fortnight, with the first racing on Saturday.
