Precisely! But, what may not be widely known is that although the TT is full price no matter what, there are deals to be had travelling to the Manx.
I'd originally planned to come on the thursday of practice week and go home monday morning after race week (wanted to see the classic 2 day trial). I was quoted £305 for me and the c*r. Ouch...
So, I did a bit of research and found that by travelling on the Tuesday evening boat and going home on the monday afternoon it was down to £198, which more than covers a couple of extra days in the digs
I found this out by accident. How many more people might come over earlier or come at all if they knew about this?
Steam Packet - Mr Earnshaw, c'mon get yer digits extracted. Don't you WANT people to come?
