Classic TT trip.

Bearbonesnorm · Post by **Bearbonesnorm** » Fri Jul 17, 2015 7:28 pm

My rough plan is to ride up to Liverpool, jump on the ferry, spend a few days exploring the island, see a bit of racing, get the ferry back and ride home again.

It's at the end of Aug, ferry prices appear to be around £45 return ... sound like something anyone might fancy?

I'm up for that and need to get away for a week in August.

Don't torment me. Last time I tried that, with limited time due to family, the ferry didn't work out for me

Hope you boys have a good trip though

If I wasn't on child duty for pretty much all the summer holidays, I'd have signed up in a flash.

Hmm
Theres an idea, did it loads of times on various dodgy old Brit bikes so doing it on the pedally one would make a nice change... would need to be back in time for the Borders 350 tho..... Book early as the ferries get rammed pretty quick.

I've not been to the Island for years and in all honesty most of my time was spent either covered in oil, outside Bushys or admiring the 'dancing ladies' in the Lido

Interested, would say 20% likelihood in all reality though. Will keep tabs on this thread though.

Dancing ladies you say.
Might be up for this...... Just need permission from the non dancing lady.......

That'll be a no then

May be there too,with my son,funds allowing

Well, I got as far as ordering the map last night only to discover this morning that I won't be going ... not that week anyway.

Apologies for getting anyones hopes up but obviously feel free to carry on regardless.

Ooh tempted will be in North Wales with boys and bikes so we could hop on the ferry for a quick trip . . . . . As long as we don't jinx it as last time we tried to get the the ferry blew up!

Outside Douglas........already booked for next years TT,still trying to get
There for the Mgp......plenty of Bivi spots as per my other thread

Not on the trip but I'm based not far from the ferry... if you want to stop off for an overnighter I can put a few people up and offer free B&B

Bearbonesnorm · Post by **Bearbonesnorm** » Sun Jul 19, 2015 8:15 pm

Yay ... looks like I'm set for going again.

I shall work out some dates / times etc and post them up for any interested parties.

Just seen this then looked at my shifts! Guess what...... I can't.

Stu im still up for the pumlumon fawr ascent though sometime!! Especially now uv got the fatty up n running

Bearbonesnorm · Post by **Bearbonesnorm** » Tue Jul 21, 2015 8:44 pm

Okay, Chew has just booked the ferry

Here's the details for anyone who may fancy it.

Departing Liverpool on Thursday Aug 27th @ 10.30am
Return Liverpool on Wednesday Sep 2nd @ 16.30 from Douglas

Those dates meant a 'Footloose' deal was available which cost £36 each return.

I shall be meandering my way to Liverpool from Bear Bones Towers and Chew will be riding from Halifax.

Just seen this then looked at my shifts! Guess what...... I can't.

Sorry you can't make it Mike, I reckon you'd have enjoyed it. We'll get something sorted.

Mrs Jay - Are you going on your bike?

Jay - Yeah, thought it was easier now the car's all packed.

Mrs Jay - Okay, well don't be long, we're going in an hour.

For a pint of milk on his Triumph.....it was already panniered up etc,
We met up with him on the Iom.......he said 'at least she'll have a week
To calm down '...

Bearbonesnorm · Post by **Bearbonesnorm** » Thu Aug 13, 2015 12:48 pm

If anyone fancies a 'mini' / weekend version we'll be quite happy to meet up with you in Douglas on whatever days suit. We shall be on the island from Thu until Tue.
