Ferry is about £125 return
Accommodation is 2 nights, say £45 a night
Fuel
Food

So £500 is tops. I reckon £400 is more like it. You'll pay for your ferry well in advance.

That's the Blade list of expenses. You don't drink beer, you drink diet coke, so you can be up at 6 am to do a few laps of the Mountain before everyone gets up :D

Kwacky, when do you look to book the ferry ? If there is a big turn- out we don't want to loose anyone.

PS. Don't mention a specific date otherwise blade will book a day earlier to get even more laps in on the mountain (n)

I think I tend to book in late January, early Feb. I try to get a decent seat so I don't have to sit with this lot. It's not worked.

We'll get something sorted in the new year. Last year we stayed in Peel which seemed to work. I'm happy to go back to the place we stayed at subject to what the others say.

Peel was a good spot, I'm happy with that.
