RE: The Rip off Prize
Chatting to a guy (first time visitor) yesterday who claimed he wanted to walk up the public footpath up the back of the Creg and was stopped by 2 young lads demanding a tenner (sic!) admission! He refused and pointed out it was a public right of way and that no-one could stop him going up there, but that a lot of (mainly overseas) visitors were falling for the con.

If this particular story is true, then I doubt it's anything to do with the landowners/tenants, but more to do with a couple of lads out to make a fast buck.

Whatever the case, this chap said he was disgusted and that he won't be coming back to the TT again, despite my attempts to reassure him that we're not all thieving, rip-off merchants.

Anyone else had a similar experience?
