I paid a £50 deposit, presumably as the times/scedule is not finalised. Although a lot os the times it said had sold out so not really sure.

Time for this thread to make like Jesus and get resurrected.

So with 80-odd days to who's going, and when?

I'm there for two weeks, probably staying near Kirk Michael village.

Can believe that.

SWTH - unless you've been before & are returning to something you know, you really need to be in Douglas if you want to be involved in the evening action. We stayed at Ballicraine one year and it was a royal pain going in and out most evenings.

The problem is finding somewhere to park the van. I'm using my Vito as a camper van but I can't get an answer out of Braddan Bridge Campsite over whether they'll allow me to do so. Most places want me to pitch a tent instead. Pennybridge Campsite at Kirk Michael are happy for me to use the van, and to be honest I've no problem with travelling around the island - I'm not just there for the TT.

Try lower ballicotier camo site. Bob and hilary are amazing.
Took 2 vans over in 2013 and used them as tents all week and just tool the bike over in the back, and was just at the end of the mountain course just down from the crew,
