Who has got experience of the TT. There is 10 of us that want to go next year and we are hoping to get a one house for all of us.
Anyone ever done this?

Book your ferry now

Once you have that then finding a house is not too hard

Look for a house at sea view in onchan. Not far from Douglas being in the next village

I booked the ferry at the start of June and the campsite just after race week, can't wait to go

Will be doing it on the Falco with my other half, she loves bikes so it was an easy sell

When I went we camped at Glenlough Farm campsite, it was excellent, just one long non-stop party!

You'll have to book soon, everything apart from camping gets booked up really early.

Lots of really useful info on this site - Bill runs trips to the TT and I went along with his lot, but the info is good even if you're going on your own. I'm the redhead in the picture, that was in 2003, 4 months before I bashed my leg - so glad I rode the mountain that time!

It all depends whether you want to be close to the madness that is Douglas, or whether you prefer something a bit less frantic. I always preferred Ramsey, as it's not as bonkers and there are loads of really good vantage points for the races within walking/staggering distance. It's also possible to get to some really good spots while the roads are closed using the back roads.

Has anyone tried to contact our very own Main Man of the TT?

I am looking forward to helping make the TT/MGP and all other hosted events on the island something even more of us want to come to. Its a bit of an awesome responsibility really....

Not sure if a) He's still heading motorsport on the Island
or b) Still popping in to the forum since chopping in the Falco for a Triumph, but probably still worth trying to contact him

Thanks all. It would be nice if we could get a house to share but the more I look into it the more I am thinking it may not happen. It may end up being a hotel.

There's an accommodation forum on the official IOMTT website.
