I'm planning on going across to race this over the weekend of May 12th. My intention is to leave Penrith around 4ish to get the late evening ferry from Craigryan to Belfast. Ideally I want to fill a car as the fare is around the £400 mark (might be cheaper from Liverpool but will have to look into it). 4-5 people will make it viable. In the past I have flown then hired a car, but with all the extras (travel, parking at airport, hire, flights etc), ferry will be cheaper overall. Coming back mid to late afternoon Sunday
In terms of accommodation, I have booked a number of beds at the YH in Newcastle at £12 per night (2 nights).
It's a top weekend with plenty of good banter and some racing. Saturday night is usually spent in a pub mixing with all the lads you usually race against, but never socialise with. I've been for the past 5 -6 years.
