you could always fly into the Belfast City airport from Southampton (Flybe) on the Friday am.... try and organise a lift from there to the circuit or alternatively fly to the International airport with easyjet. its less of a trip to Cookstown....I'd forget the van...time you take with ferries and fuel, you'd best fly and hire a car - take a sleeping bag and kip in the car.

I'd help you out personally but I'll have to miss out on Cookstown this year cos I'm one of the riders who'll be tearing up the road from Lands End to John O Groats that weekend to raise some dosh for the MGP Helo and Rob Vine fund :?
