I'm staying in the bunkhouse rather than camping, so several spare pairs of earplugs are right at the top of my list

[Matlock]

Apparently since I stopped smoking I don't snore any more. So I'll now be with the vehemently anti-snoring group. Death to the snorers I say!
I'll be taking:

• bike & money (thanks for the reminder BD)
• clothes
• waterproofs
• spare waterproof gloves
• camera and charger
• phone and charger
• wash kit
• proper bath towel.
• water bottle
• medium sized first aid kit. (Halfords)
• tools
• puncture plugging kit
• duct tape, cable ties, wd40, spare bulbs
• photocopies of bike docs
• 2010 Good beer guide
• Sat nav
• Lots of Sunblock

I have spoken to camspite and

- sheets etc will be provided for "bunkhousers"
- microwave will hopefully be added to cooking facilities

You may also want to take

- cossies/goggles for swimming( really nice sports centre)
- strong shoes for walking( cracking coastal wlk from "the Sound") see below




I am also taking
- 1:25,000 OS sheets ( N and S) I am a map nut and these are good for walking/detail stuff
- 1:50,000 OS sheet great for checking the yellow (and white) roads
- netbook (so I can attempt to get on carpe site - although I had no success at TT)
- mini folding seat (handy for loads of things inc watching southern 100 races)
- various little guidebooks
- Isle of Man Pub and Brewery Guide ( written in 1995 but still worth a look)
- brollie

It all fits in me soft luggage:


Not taking guitar as I was heartbroken at the abuse my poor little "Tesco" traveller got at bellingham - you bitches (haha). Although we may have a singalong session in the Crosby Hotel on Monday night. The hawthorn is the closest pub and although a bit pricey, the food apparnetly if absolutely first class - maybe worth it for one evening. This is their website http://www.thehawthorn.co.uk/

hope this is useful

I am getting new C and S fitted this saturday and will ditch the engine guards, so P7 KCU will be ready for its lttle excursion.

Roll on!

Pete

i still havent decided which bike to bring, TDM or TRX

[Geordie Guy]

Hey Ivan does that mean I need not bother bringin me own tent for the odd night Ill be staying

Ya can Feck off,
I dont want to wake up in the morning and see you standing over me, with a razor in your hand. Again.

The whole idea is that I have me own space and can snore my head off, with out upsetting anyone.

I'll find a quiet place away from everyone at the campsite.

Set up my Huge tent, with carpets coffee tables and lounge bed and relax.

Like a Bedowin oasis of calm.

Might even get some, Wind Chimes on the veranda, do a spot of yoga.

i still havent decided which bike to bring, TDM or TRX

Tony, Which is the quickest, Which is the safest ?

Or more importantly, which one works?

[Matlock]

Or more importantly, which one works?

Or is in the least number of bits?

[TonyDevil]

Tony, Which is the quickest, Which is the safest ?

on paper the TRX is the quickest, but i find i ride the TDM better and hence i'm quicker on that
safest? how do you work that one out? The TDM has better visibility

Or more importantly, which one works?

both....ish

Don't go there. I've been waiting for Delkavik to get downpipes back in stock and had an e-mail from them today saying they whould be able to dispatch them on Monday, which might mean me continuing the Mk1 tradition...

Your welcome to borrow my E21's Chris we know they fit

the Mother of all cases....

[ChrisG]

Thanks for the offer mate but I'm in the bunkhouse rather than camping so shouldn't need side panniers, in which case I'll probably leave the MTC on and not bother fidding with the pipes until I get back.

With rabbid sort arse cats. They will slap you with a p!ss laidend litter tray and a ASBO, as quick as you can say ..
