IoM TT

Discussion in 'Racing & Bike Sport' started by saxman, Mar 16, 2013.

  1. Thanx for all the info guys,much appreciated, we are camped at glen lough, a mile or so from union mills, what's union mills like as a place to watch.
     
  2. I stayed at Glenlough last year, very basic and be prepared for massive ques for the bogs and showers as they seem to cram 5000 people in a site designed for 500. But it is a good location, up the road from Douglas and good viewing at Bray hill and Crosby. They operate a decent minibus service from the site, great if you are not on a bike. Well worth venturing round the course for other view points, but as Glenlough site is on the course itself be careful not to get shut out when the racing/practice happens.
     
  3. Could'nt ride a moped in '75? My folks hadent even met each other in '75...

  5. You naughty naughty man!!!!
     
  6. TT is on my bucket list.
    I was going to go over in 1991 with my then husband for our " late" honeymoon .
    However I think by then it was evident it was not a marriage made in heaven or going to last.
    I'm glad we did not go have a row and tarnish the whole experience!

    I don't really want to go on my own .
    I have a couple of friends who Marshall every year ..

    I'd like to drag some folks with me in a year or two.
    Sadly none of my friends are enthusiastic about TT .. Or Manx ..
    Getting anyone out of Suffolk is like ...
    A mirical.... Carrots on sticks don't work these days.
     
  7. Do I sense a forum outing perhaps :upyeah:
     
  8. Was this connected? And when did you get your second dose? And subsequent doses? :smile:

    dunno how the fook im gonna fit all my shit on the bike. have just got a set of oxford panniers but a bit tricky on a mono with a delicate carbon pod
     
  15. ballacottier camp site still had spaces but call them as they take an age to reply to emails which makes booking a ferry very hard.
