North West 200

Like many others from the UK mainland I will be coming over for the NW200 again this year.........anybody planning to meet up over the weekend?
I have family in the North and would be stopping for a few days either side of the racing so if there's a chance of a rideout let me know.

cheers

Cheers

Still the North West should be good! (Any excuse for an Ulster Fry!)

I think there will be a few guys going up to the NW200 - i myself live about ONE mile from the course or so so i will defo be going - even if i have to walk if the bike isnt ready in time.

Just keep an eye out for alot of weird looking guys - that will be Dar and Sean etc!!!

yeah i will be heading up..blue and white tlr with yoshis,
hopefully goin up friday evening and camping!!

Anyone interested in meeting on the Friday night somewhere, for an orange juice

I'll be at my parents caravan at Juniper Hill caravan site. Unfortunatley, as it's on the course, and close to the pits, it's entry with ticket only

Hi guys, do any of you know if its possible to book for the NW200 (hotels etc) about a year in advance ?

Jeeeez, never thought for a minute that all the hotels / b&bs would be booked solid (silly old me). Got the Ferry booked no probs and was planning to stay in Portrush area but failing that, had plans to stay with friends in Moville (short ferry hop via MacGilligans to Greencastle) but Marj is really ill right now so def wont be imposing on the family.

Am touring around the coast in June so was able to move the ferry dates no probs. Nearest alternative digs was Derry Travel Lodge, multi storey car park, nice nd safe for the SV (not!).

Anyway, would be grateful if anyone can advise if the hotels / b&bs will take advance bookings, would also be grateful for any recomendations etc.

Cheers for now

There are plenty of B&B's available further away. I live in Bangor on the east coast and we ride up on the morning of the race. The run up is always great. The farmhouse style of B&B around this area is good as they would have somewhere (outbuildings) to park the bike and the breakfasts are great too! Just a thought.
I have stayed in Portrush in a B&B and the landlady has all her rooms prebooked a year in advance. A group of Scottish bikers come over every year and take all her rooms. So there shouldnt be a prob with pre-booking just have to find one that is empty next year.

and don t forget theres always the Ulster Grand Prix in August which as many people from the mainland come over to watch.

For the NW a year in advance the b&b will be taking bookings, most are sold out by xmas
