Excellent! I don't know the answers to your questions, but I do receive emails from the Steam Packet Company regularly and they always email when TT bookings are being taken (usually towards the end of the year they send them) so I'll keep you posted. I very nearly went last year at the last minute, they sent an email offer for the last race (Senior TT), it was £179 for 1 person for 3 nights in hotel and return ferry crossings. It also coincided with the Steam Packet Saturday races on the short circuit.

Go onto the Steam Packet ferry company website on the saturday after TT2009 ends. You can get the ferry of your choice then. Once you know your sailing dates you can start looking for accomadation. I have been going to the Island for 20 years and it is the BEST biking holiday you can have. Me & my mates look on it as a week long trackday and party all rolled into one. But remember that if you book to go over for TT 2010 you will get hooked and will not stop going in the future. I am always suprised with the number of long term riders who i meet who havent been to the TT. I always try to persuade them to give it a try and they wont regret it.

Yeah that could work, save trying to book accomm seperately from ferry, maybe if we get enough going we could get a discount, we could make it an ORG, long distance adventure c,mom guys, the more the merrier

You wont get a discount on anything during TT fortnight, not even on the price of the dog burgers they sell over there.

I really fancy this so will keep bumping this till june and see how many want to join us, could be a right laugh this, anyway plenty of time to sort ot out.

My recommendations, book as early as poss and I will even recommend you a lovely B&B, where for I think it was £30 for a night, you get full english for brekkie, or kippers or whatever, in the lovely area of Laxey. What a place that is I tell ya. Gimme a coupla days and I will let you know mate.
