Let me know what you think guys....

Weekend in Isle of Man... some of the best roads you'll ever drive I guarantee

Let me know your thoughts on locations.. alternative dates etc etc

The reason I picked that date out of the air is because SSO is usually in May and TOTB usually in July and as they are on our doorstep would be a shame not to go to them


Now if anyone fancies it and would like to start a fund to put into until then, I would be quite happy to keep money with a book with the NYSOC money

 

Quick recky up .....

Fuel to Liverpool and back £50-00
Ferry return £200-00
Hotel £150-00 based on £35 pp per night
Food & refreshments well this would vary wouldnt it
fuel on island £50-00 petrol prices are the same as here


so you are probably looking at around £500 ....


If anyone wants to check alternative dates ... Isle of Man Steam Packet Company Ferry Services - Ferry services to and from the Isle of Man, Heysham, Liverpool, Belfast and Dublin


And Steve is it possible purlease to have a look see what sort of price we could get say 10 double rooms for please ... thank you

 

Would definitely be up for this

 

Cool...
If we keep it out of season and when there isnt an event on then we can keep the cost right down

1. Semo
2. GIAS & kids & baz (prob on bike)
3.

 

Sounds good, will have a look at work, coz it will come under a group booking, so only some hotel take them,

But i will warn u it can sometime be cheap to book with the hotel it self.

 

nice one....

You going on the list Steve?


Anybody got any ideas of dates? Or is the date I cam up with any good to anyone?

 

So we can get an idea of what we need can people please post up what sort of room they want...

1. GIAS - family room (2 adults and 2 kids) or a double and a single depending on price

2. Semo

3. Mark Sparks - Family room

 

Just getting some price's as we dont have the rates for may as yet, so the lass is doing some ringing around,

asked for 3night 29th may, B/B as its cheaper, 10 double rooms, with 2 off them with sofa bed for kids (family room) but its only going to be a rough price, as we will need the numbers of whos going fast and the money fast as its not like a travel agent where you can pay alittle at a time, it all the cost to get the best rate,.

 

1. GIAS - family room (2 adults and 2 kids) or a double and a single depending on price

2. Semo

3. Mark Sparks - Family room

4. Help2003 - Family room (if going need to find out when am going to portugal)

 

1. GIAS - family room (2 adults and 2 kids) or a double and a single depending on price

2. Semo single or will share double if it makes it cheaper

3. Mark Sparks - Family room

4. Help2003 - Family room (if going need to find out when am going to portugal)

 

might have to have a rethink on the date... its bang in the middle of the TT

Ooh you beat me there you bugger

 

Here comes some common sense.... what about dates Jim/Aileen ?

Cost for a double room in June time is about 80-100 B&B and the ferry is round about £180 return... so what about dates?

 

Sugest some dates Claire please

 

Weather
Situated in the Irish Sea, the Isle of Man's climate is similar to that of Britain and Ireland, namely mild (due to the warm currents of the Gulf stream) and often wet. This makes the island perfect for outdoor activities such as hiking and cycling, although it's always wise to bring your waterproofs. November to February is generally the rainiest time of year, but temperatures rarely dip below zero. The summer - May to August - is warm (16-25ºC).

 

Any time is good for me apart from one week around easter. Cant just remember which week but i can check tomorrow.

Do we want to avoid half term week? Is that the end of may, around the bank holiday time?

 

what about some time in september?

 

SEPTEMBER TIME IS OK WITH ME

to be honest anytimes ok apart from july and august as most people will be on hioliday at some time or other during these 2 months so im fairly open to days

 

September

12-14th Ferry is £208 return

19th - 21st is £168 return

26th - 28th is £168 return

I havnt done the first week of september due to the schools going back

These prices are for me as Im probably the dearest... one car.. one over 12 and one infant

 

26th -28th sounds good as shows and stuff have died down then as well

 

Isle of Man - Grand Island Hotel £65 for a double

Bookings at The Chesterhouse Hotel Isle of Man | Sleepwell Hotels £84 for a double

Glen Helen Inn double £70

Thats all ive found so far ... If anyone has 5 mins spare go for it

 

theres a few on here

Isle of Man Guide - Isle of Man Hotels

 

count me in if i get plenty of notice i.e one month i can go anytime, can't talk 4 long only allowed 15 mins on computer on this rig i'll check tomorrow to see if i'm on list catch u all later
