Isle of Man TT 2012

If you take the road from the Sulby hotel crossroads to the Bungalow corner you'll see a byway that takes you down to Douglas via Baldwin.  It's a twisty gravelly challenge ideally suited to an XC.  I did it on my Blackbird  :lol:

No fords on that one eh?

I would love to go this year, but the costs involved scare me! I'd be travelling from Belfast so if there are any Irish / Norn Iron bikers going, let me know. I suspect I have left it too late to book a ferry though. What is the availability of camping places?

I would recommend the Ulster Grand Prix and NW 200, more intimate events, (especially the Ulster....you can literally rock up and stand cm away from the road track). I was at last years debacle of a NW 200. This year has to (apparently) be a success otherwise the future of the event is in doubt, but as it traditionally serves as a warm-up for the riders and teams for the TT I hope it contiues.

I accidently saw the Ulster a few years back, just happened to be working in Lisburn for a couple of weeks when it was on. A straw bail here and there, and that was the race track done, bonkers :shock:

I'll be travelling via Larne on the ferries, not too late for the ferry maybe. Accommodation might be another thing unless you are camping.

[Moorso]

I wouldn't mind camping at all, but do you have to camp in specific sites, or are people faily relaxed about a tent in the corner of a field?

I simply rocked up to the Douglas football club ground without booking and got a pitch no probs.
