Re: TT
Yeah going over on the Friday of practice week through race week.
Tips for booking.... get as many phone's as you can dialling the sailing booking office as soon as they open. One year we had 2 mobiles, a land line and the laptop on the go for 2 hours from the opening time and still didn't get through. My father in law works opposite the ferry terminal in heysham and walked over in his tea break to book the tickets with no fuss, so if you're local it's alot quicker to go get the tickets in person. We went over on home stay once and are now on good terms with a house owners who gives us first dibs every year whilst he jets off to Spain. As for taking your bike, has to be done at some point. I don't bother now simply because of cost and not being able to supple liquid nourishment as often. BanannaMan...... Do it, get some okell's down your neck. We meet plenty of yanks and aussie's over there. |

Re: TT
Everytime I've been over for the southern it's 2 hours before as loading can take forever
