IOM TT Official Review 2011

You will be hard pushed to get a b&b now I'd think especially in Douglas but you might manage further out but still on the circuit. They obviously bump the prices up for the fortnight.

Have you looked into a home stay? I used to stay at a couples house in onchan, just by governors dip. This year we are camping again though for 8 nights (I think) then hotel for one as the campsite is shut the day before we are due to travel home.

Any guidance Mike, folks? Prefer B&B to camping but I'll rough it if I have to.

Sorted it out ourselves. Accommodation is in a pub () run by a friend of my mate (booked last year), flights by easyjet, transport by bus and shanks' pony once on the island.

Most stuff goes early on, but there are some pre-pitched camp sites that spring up where you can book a bed/tent quite late on. The TT website is a good place to start looking if you know nowt about the island.

You could go for a day on Simon's RIB like we did last year, see here for booking details for this year....

For those on budget but with a love of road racing may I suggest the NW200.

GOOD POINTS

TT riders use this as a testing ground for the TT bikes so you can still see your favourite big name riders and they don't just take it easy, they want to win!

If you stay outside of Portrush/Portstewart the hotels/b&b are cheap and not too crowded.

If you get the Dublin ferry and ride up to Northern Ireland it is ALOT cheaper.

Awesome atmosphere

NI is the best place in the world ever

BAD POINTS

Likelihood of rain is high
Bomb threats

Oohh NW200, now that may be possible. My family have been nagging me to go to Ireland. mmm combine the two? Thanks mate, I just might do that.

I'll take an Umbrella and a keep my fingers crossed on both bad points.
