Hello everyone. New to the forum, but not to the TT (visited in 2010 and 2014).

Just wanted some advice from the experts please. During past visits we've watched at the grandstand / paddock, St Ninians, Quarter Bridge, Bradden Bridge and Ballaugh.

We're travelling over on 1st June for 6 nights, so we'll catch most of the races. I'd like to take the wife to view the racing from somewhere a bit different - a bit 'closer' to the bikes.  I've seen lots of videos taken at Gorse Lea, but I'm a bit unclear about the restrictions in place for this year. Would it be possible to still view at Gorse Lea, within touching distance of the bikes?

There's also a few other places I'm interested in, including Sarah's, Cronk Y Voddy, Sulby Crossroads, Greeba Castle and Ballacrye.

I suppose I'm just after some advice about where to view in order to get a proper "feel" for the bikes - fast straights, fast corners etc., where we can literally feel them going past. I appreciate facilities at some of these places won't be of the standard at the paddock and the Creg, but we're happy take chairs & food and sit it out for however long is needed.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide........
