Re: Isle of Man 4th Sept 2015
OK guys ferry timetable has been released for 2015.
The crossing from Liverpool to Douglas on the Thursday 3rd at 1115 Coming back Sunday 6th at 1600 is now priced at £187 which is about a £50 increase over normal fare obviously as classic TT is on.
From experience this will sell out in a day or two. If we want to go that weekend when the classic TT is on we need to book now. I understand its a big chunk of Money to pay out now but if we want to go then we really do need to book now.
We have accomodation available at least one choice and possibly a second which I hope to confirm asap. But at least we have something decent in the bag as acoomodation will start getting booked up now ferry timetable is out and bookings possible.
What do the people want to do ?

I'll go with the flow. When I looked at ferry prices it wasn't that much, but I was looking to sail on the Friday. It may well have been iincreased now.

Re: Isle of Man 4th Sept 2015
Just rang the Fernleigh B&B in Peel (stayed there 2 years ago) as not had an email reply.
The Land Lady said she needed to check her booking chart and get back to me but thought it was unlikely she could get us in as she has regulars that book the full race week Saturday to Saturday each year.
My opinion is lets book the Wicklow Hills in Douglas (stayed there 1st and 2nd years) before that goes. What does everyone think ?

Re: Isle of Man 4th Sept 2015
It was Wicklow Hills and The Arrandale we had in 2012 both were decent and I have the phone numbers for both if you want Blade ? Last year was the Waldick hotel I think is that the one you spoke to mate ?

Cheers for the info Bratty mate.
There is availability at the Wicklow Hills where we have stayed before and I can reserve this if people want.
