I think you pay a small deposit then most of it next January/February.

This would be my first TT. Do you need to book accommodation at the same time or can I wait a little while? I had a look at this year’s options and a pre-set up tent with sleeping bag would be best for me. Is there a minimum number of nights? I’m aiming for Monday or Tuesday of race week until after the Senior.

Then if anyone from the Southeast or en route is similarly thinking of going on their own (or not), feel free to give me a shout.

Thanks in advance for any info.

i'll certainly be booking the ferry tickets for 2017, gutted not to be going this year Sad

Accommodation can wait but this also gets booked really quickly, most booking as they leave this year.

we had a house which i've used for the least 2 years on outskirts of Douglas but she is no longer renting it, shame as was perfect.

You can sell them by 1st week in March for a small loss I think. I tried to sneak through for this years that way. I wasn't sure of my off days until February this year.
I could get there but the problem is getting back off the island. I have work on Tuesday after the senior race and didn't want to leave it too close to the day I leave for work.
I got a ferry home on the morning of the senior's race. Shocked

Da faq?

I am now boating to Belfast on the Saturday after the big race then Belfast to Cairnryan Roll off Roll On style. It saves squaring off my tyres is my excuse for that extravagance.

As suggested though, get your arse in gear and book the ferry NOW for next year. Accommodation is not a problem until Dec-Jan rush. I managed to book a pitch for a 4-man at the Rugby Club after I confirmed my ferry. You are possibly restricted to a minimum No. of nights so... you'll maybe book and pay for a week but may only stay four days or whatever. But most folk think that's worth it. You may be lucky and not kill yersel on Mad Sunday. Smile
