Mine was unavoidableOriginally Posted by VtecMini
Last year my mate and mates wife ( long story ) flew over and back and we went on the bikes. It was cheaper to fly from Douglas to Prestwick than it was for the ferry The Steampacket know they can sell the places so charge an arm and a leg !!
Brothers gto a place in Castletown, so we were best placed for hte classic shows on the Sunday - though a wee bit far out from the races. But excellent bus service and the wee man even woke us up from our drunken slumbers on the way home after a few at BushysWhere do you usually stay? Anywhere to recommend? Last year we stayed in the Union Mills campsite. In the field next to the road. Asbolutely brilliant, cos you could sneak through the woods between the field and the road and set up a chair trackside. Got a great view of all the classics coming around on the parade lap.
Better than any alarm clockOnly problem was the practice runs. Sodding noisy Ducatis blasting past your tent at 6:00am when you've got a hangover. Not cool.
BTW, sad, but here's the spot ......
Him, Joey and Barry will be finding who's best now ( unless they're all in hell and they have to ride Ducatis )
