  1. Exactly that?

    Also if you have been any gems of info like campsites not to stay at etc:upyeah:
     
  2. Are you going mate? I'm over there for 9 days. If your looking for camping I've got a couple of pitches booked at the council site in Peel that I won't be using. If you want them your welcome to them, deposits been paid so they're secure.

  5. See this is why you are a moderator, Cheers buddy :biggrin:
     
  6. I am planning to yes. Id like to get a few mates together or to go up with peeps from here but Im more than happy to do it solo if needs be.
    When do you have the pitches for? Obviously Id sort you out some dollar for my time using them.

    Iv even thought of trying to do a charity ride there after the TT for Help For Heros kinda thing and speaking with the Army Cadet units out there to sort out accommodation etc. Could be a bit rushed for this year but certainly next year
     
  7. Yes I will be there again, staying in Ramsey this year, the weather can be unpredictable so camping is a no no for me. I am told the camp site behind the pits can get noisie with the helicopters taking of and landing.

  8. Sean,
    two pitches booked from 01 June to 06 June at Peel camping site. It's not on the circuit but Peels a nice place, some good boozers etc. have you got crossings sorted, if not your pretty much stuffed, unless you manage to get one on the day the Steam Packet release any
    places that haven't been paid for which I think is 28th February.
     
  9. Was that for me? No, iv been looking but I cant get any info on prices/bookings/dates etc and iv tried on the steampacket`s site

    If you want to do a charity ride on the Island - What about this?

    Information for Mountain Bike Riders

    I've done it for the last 4 years, Cost is not cheap, but I go as a foot passenger (MTB is free), and stay with friends on the island who also supply transport which means the trip works out at about half the expected price.
     
  11. I stayed in a B+B in Ramsey. Lady owned, renting out her spare room. She happily allowed my bike to live in her garage for the week, walking distance to Parliament Square / Black (White? Whichever!) Swan.
     
  12. no tickets for the Manx ferrys :-(
     
  13. All bookings have to be paid for infull by the end of February, any that are not fully paid for will be re-sold, keep checking then. There are allways some available.
