Dry all day according to the forecast.

Just had an email from Steam Packet to say tomorrow's sailing may be cancelled.

Just checked the steampacket site.

They will make a decision at 1200 tomorrow on the liverpool sailing.

I would imagine if it's cancelled they will stick you on the Heysham crossing as the Ben-my-Chree sails in all weather so you should be ok for getting home, If you actually want to (giggle)

Awesome trip as always. Blessed with good weather yesterday and Friday afternoon so saw plenty and rode plenty.

Bike swap was great too. Thanks guys.

Shame we had to change ferry this morning but I actually thought the Heysham ferry was a better experience and not a huge amount further in distance. Maybe worth looking at next year.

Good craic, good company, great food and drink and fantastic riding. Here's to next year.
