A long weekend in the Isle of Man just after TT fortnight.
A different style of trip, visiting what is described as the Motorsport Island of the world.
Famous for the TT races but home to many other motorsport events.
Mostly a pottering weekend with the opportunity to extend yourself and your car on the famous mountain circuit which is de-restricted (bit subject to other traffic).
I will be taking the ferry from Heysham to Douglas, other ferries go from Livepool. The Isle of Man Steam ‘Racket’ Company is the only operator.. https://www.steam-packet.com/
We’ve booked 4 rooms for the Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights in Douglas the capital for £350 per room at ‘Inglewood’ on the front.
There are various options to see most parts of what is a relatively small Island over two days, with a number of special stages’ for various events to be driven plus some very tourist activities like the mountain railway.
These are allocated on a first come, first served basis, however if you are not sure that you can commit please put yourself down as ‘interested’ rather than ‘definite’
Depending on numbers, anyone past the 4 room limit can book direct.
For logistics reasons this is restricted to 8 cars maximum.
Hotel prices and availability are much more challenging in 2023, and with folk’s budgets constrained, if you want to book cheaper / alternative accommodation please feel free.

We choose to go to on with this endeavour at this time and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard…
