OK guys ferry timetable has been released for 2015.

The crossing from Liverpool to Douglas on the Thursday 3rd at 1115 Coming back Sunday 6th at 1600 is now priced at £187 which is about a £50 increase over normal fare obviously as classic TT is on.

From experience this will sell out in a day or two. If we want to go that weekend when the classic TT is on we need to book now. I understand its a big chunk of Money to pay out now but if we want to go then we really do need to book now.

We have accomodation available at least one choice and possibly a second which I hope to confirm asap. But at least we have something decent in the bag as acoomodation will start getting booked up now ferry timetable is out and bookings possible.

What do the people want to do ?

[Kwacky]

I'll go with the flow. When I looked at ferry prices it wasn't that much, but I was looking to sail on the Friday. It may well have been iincreased now.

[Bratty]

Yes the price have gone up and just checked its even dearer at £200 if we sail on the Friday.

So is every happy to book the following ?

Priced at £187

Just rang the Fernleigh B&B in Peel (stayed there 2 years ago) as not had an email reply.

The Land Lady said she needed to check her booking chart and get back to me but thought it was unlikely she could get us in as she has regulars that book the full race week Saturday to Saturday each year.

My opinion is lets book the Wicklow Hills in Douglas (stayed there 1st and 2nd years) before that goes. What does everyone think ?

[Bratty]

It was Wicklow Hills and The Arrandale we had in 2012 both were decent and I have the phone numbers for both if you want Blade ? Last year was the Waldick hotel I think is that the one you spoke to mate ?

[Blade]

Cheers for the info Bratty mate.

There is availability at the Wicklow Hills where we have stayed before and I can reserve this if people want.

I thought we stayed at the Fernleigh in Peel and its them I have been in touch with.

You might need to bring your own gaffer tape, rocket.

[Blade]

Nah no need Kwacky always has plenty going spare

[Blade]

Emailed the Waldick Hotel last night and called and left a message today asking for them to check availability and get back to me.

Is everybody happy to commit and book the ferry ? I want to book today as worried will sell out but need confirmation others are definitely happy with everything first as don't want to be there as billy no mates.

[Kwacky]

Can I come back to you on Saturday? I can't see it being a problem but I've got other stuff to deal with ATM.
