"Wow that was hard work!! Anyway im booked Thank fook you reminded me!! Cannot wait!!" Holy shit you nearly missed it. Quick Question... Would it be quicker to head to Birkenhead side of Mersey then back through the tunnel to get to Ferry Port or off the M6 and head through Liverpool?? never headed out from Liverpool before but this years ferry bookings are a night mare. 2019 we have booked exactly what we want from Heysham and back into Heysham  | |||

"Four hours it just took on the phone and Internet. All booked for 2019 now" Didn't take me that long, but booked the ferry for 1019 now, robbing thieving bastards as usual  .Staying with a couple i met about 10 years ago, so bike is safe, fun is sorted and the local pub is great   | |||

"Coming down from Durham, stick to M62. It goes pretty much straight into town and it’s then almost a straight run down down to Pier Head. It’s well sign posted to the Albert Dock. The Island is getting ready for the invasion. New beer tent - Hooden Ram (on Bushys old site is already up) Bushys are in Villa Marina gardens this year, but their tents not up yet. Safe journey to you all " Cheers | |||

"Get off M6 at junction 23 (haydock island) and get onto the A580 (east Lancashire road) towards Liverpool. This takes you all the way into Liverpool where you will pick up the signs for the ferry terminal. It's really easy. " Thanks. This is the way I was thinking. Great info | |||

"Four hours it just took on the phone and Internet. All booked for 2019 now" Looks like we need to be rather more organized than we are presently for this one! We didn’t realise there is a separate page for the TT on the ferry company website until we went to have a look today. Looks like we won’t be going on the bike in 2019! Not to worry, we might just try flying in instead. Off to text a mate to enquire about how difficult it is to arrange accommodation! But not holding our breath... | |||

Don't give up as people cancel throughout the year. In 6 weeks it will hit home with some what they have done and booked for 2019 and not being able to go for several reasons, not told the wife or no way will be able to afford it, so 6 weeks is a funny time and a lot of spaces become available. Also the folk who have not paid in full by end of February all them places are released 1st March every year so plenty of time to get booked with your bike yet. May not get the ideal crossings but you will get booked if you are keen enough. If you don't mind camping we have details of how to book that so send us a PM if so | |||

To be honest being able to think about it again in a few months time will suit us better so we can work out how the diary is looking. We can do crossings from the UK (preferred) or Ireland if necessary  !
We’ll PM you and thanks so much for letting us do that.
Best wishes,

"Not a problem. As long as you are not fussed about time of crossing or either ports, Liverpool or Heysham you shouldn't have a problem. Even this year there was crossings to be had for race week earlier this month. Yes drop us a message | |||

"Only 8 weeks or so since we booked for 2019 and we have had to change our ferry already as we need to be on the island earlier than anticipated. Now going bank Holiday Monday instead of Thursday 30th. More time on the rock.... Life's a chore sometimes " Glad you enjoyed it this year, weather was just incredible. Only just over 3 weeks until the Manx Grand Prix/Classic TT | |||

Top of hill where it says all traffic left, don't go left go right through the houses and out the other side. What a road that is along the cliffs and the sea to your right.

"Hi we not been for 3 years we fancy taking are sprinter camper van then bike in back. Anyone got somewhere could park with showers etc. Or how book ferrys prices if possible.

"Hi we not been for 3 years we fancy taking are sprinter camper van then bike in back. Anyone got somewhere could park with showers etc. Or how book ferrys prices if possible. X" Your best bet is to ring the steam packet see what they have at the moment, if anything. However a lot of sailings will go back on sale feb/march next year when those who have paid their deposits don't pay the full amount. And there are loads of places to park your camper. Just have a google...loads of sports clubs, campsites etc to choose from x | |||

And remember the isle of man government own the steam racket now "We were just talking to our mates who live on the island about the government taking over the Steam Racket earlier in the year and they were saying they don't take over till next year? could have sworn we had read it was official Back in June. You are absolutely right about the advantages once there. Very addictive. Roll on 2019 and hanging on the phone/computer for hours booking 2020 visit | |||

"Hi Booked for 2019 first time looking for guidance on best locations travelling alone so going to be a little lost I think any advice appreciated" Where are you staying? When and where are you getting ferry from? When we take new people we like to take them up to Creg na Bar for the first view of the racing. Walk up from pub towards Kates and sit on the embankment next to the road. Be very careful not to drop anything onto road as its an arrestable offence. Any questions just ask | |||

"Hi Travelling over on the 28th night crossing from Liverpool camping on Laxey campsite until 9th june think it might be a little on the rough side but i dont care been saying i need to go for over 15 years 2019 is the year cant wait" We travel day before you. Laxy is a lovely place. Bit quieter than Douglas where we are staying. The island is amazing so no matter where you are staying you'll have a blast. Everyone is friendly and if you tell all its your first TT everyone will help you out | |||

"I've ferry tickets but a mate who booked them has stuck me on IOM for 2 weeks! Thinking of sacking the deposit off and just turning up.. " You can change ferry at any time at no extra charge and once on the island jump on a ferry stand by to come back or even change it at ferry terminal, again at no extra charge. So if you are happy with your outgoing change your return when you get there. Hope that helps with your final decision | |||

"I'm going to take some pampess grass on the bike then lol just in case it rains... it won’t it will be nice like this year " We certainly hope so. We have already booked the weather and going to pack some sunshine to release it when we arrive. Back up plans are always good | |||

"Steam Packet is more like Steam Racket! " It is a crazy price but have to take our hats off at the hard work the staff do logistically to get thousands of bikes and people on and off the island in the space of two weeks. It's pretty amazing | |||

"Thinking of a Grandstand for the senior race any recommendations please? Was looking at nobles park!" Good little spot at Nobles Park, close to the main grandstand so Ypu can still enjoy the food/drink/retail/paddock atmosphere. I'd try booking your seat on the road side of the grandstand so you can see up the road x | |||

"Can I buy some gear over there?, for a good price or will I stick to Andorra?" There's always a bargain to be had. There's pop up shops during TT. Wouldn't say you'd get a bargain of a lifetime. It costs these people a lot of money to set up a shop for 2 weeks. We like to take 1st timers up to creg na bar to see racing as if you walk up onto the fell you can get within touching distance of the road. Awesome place for 1st time experience. | |||
