Lure of TT
Hi,
Bset of luck getting ferry tickets for 2013 very limited availability now unless you book a package with accomadation thrown in. The tickets have been reserved deposits paid , payment will be required i full by Feb 2013? at which stage the unpaid for tickets get re releaased but you need to be quick and monito the steam packet booking web site for info.. they go quick.
As for where to stay you need to stay on the outside of the course to give the option of moving between races as the main circuit remains closed. There are some great campsites on the course bed breakfast , properties to rent or a scheme called Homestay. Homestay is great if you want to get to know the local haunts, history etc, families open there houses to bikers on a bed breakfast arrangement fo ?30 -35 ish per person per night. We stayed with a family in 2002 and have revisted time and time again, lovely people now extended family... keen to make sure you have a great time.
Good luck hope above assists.
once you have been you will get the bug and return is guaranteed.
