Just booked provisional ferries for 2 peeps and bike 1/6-14/6 inclusive. Paid a deposit only but spaces are going quickly. Anyone wanna come? No accommodation booked yet though.

I'm booked to travel on 1st - 15th of June. Happy to have the extra couple of days and let the stampede go on Sunday/Monday/Tuesday!

What sort of money are they charging guys?

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.

Goatpants is now doing a week in Spain with 3 Days included on the Cartagena circuit.

All for a fraction of the cost of the isle fortnight.

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,

Thanks for that, I'll give them a phone call tomorrow.

Rented a house last year in Andreas between 6 of us not far from Ramsey ,got a brilliant pub in the village that does excellent food if you get up that way , well worth a try

Me and the wife going over on the 3rd early hours coming back on the 13th from Liverpool , renting a house in Onchan the far end of Douglas sea front.
Cheating a bit by taking the bike in the van to Liverpool ,going up on the 2nd
