R1 Iain Posted October 2, 2007 Author Share Posted October 2, 2007 Yorbandit... Thanks a lot thats great... I have managed to get someplace from the 23rd till the 29th then nothing after that... I have mentioned to them that I was not sure about just booking these days in the hope of someone canceling... Then I could be stuck out on the street so to speek... I am still looking but as I said if anyone can come up with some good options for myself and family... That would be a great help...Still not sure where exactlt will be the best place for some shows etc or even the calendar for 2008 Nothing I can see published yet.... I know I am going to miss the best week but thts life Poss 2009 with the bike only... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorbandit Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 ALL the night stuff down on the promenade, but certain parts ya kids not allowed in cos of bar area, paddocks are up the hill so to speak, fair bit of a trek but ya can walk round the pits and see most stuff, practise week it is easier to get round than race week, no wheels is gonna limit ya, if the purple helmets on at stadium well wort going ya will piss yaself promise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 just seen your post re IOM hotels etc. If you would still like some info on this let me know. I can get you a list togther of all the Hotels /B&B's in Douglas and other places if you want. Unfortunately most of the hotels etc have been turned into luxury apartments so the places to stay over here are becoming less and less.

Guest Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 i was in the isle of man two week ago and tried to book several places while there but got no joy most places were booked for 2009 as well so gonna be difficult think best option will be to camp loads of site and there are still places or even easier watch on tv....

Guest Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 I'm heading over with a couple of mates and partners, we'll be catching up with a group off another forum for our usual mad sunday run at the MacDonalds in douglas at 9.30. Anyone else who fancies it are welcome to come and say hello.There after it'll be as many runs over the mountain as we can get on the Sunday. I'll be chasing a faster run than my best last year. . .105mph average from Ramsey to the Creg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
