Booked ferry for next year for me and my wife this morning. Going out 27th and back on the Sunday after. Can't wait. Thought practice week would be best for runs over the mountain, especially as it will be her first time. Now just got to try and get a B&B or homestay, as she doesn't do camping.
Bray Hill casualties will make full recovery By Adrian Darbyshire Published on 10/06/2013 14:53 All victims of the Bray Hill TT crash are expected to make a full recovery, the surgeon who operated on them told a press conference. Orthopaedic surgeon Ian Wright said that given the speed of the bike that crashed into the spectators, there could have been multiple injuries. Of eight casualties admitted to Noble’s Hospital after the accident in Friday’s senior TT race, four had serious limb injuries and of those, three went into theatre that day and one the following day. Three are in the process of being transferred to UK trauma centres for on-going specialist care while one is expected to be discharged in a few days. Mr Wright told reporters that the casualties suffered open fractures to the shin bones as Jonathan Howarth’s machine struck them. ‘It took out the lower half of their bodies,’ he said. But he confirmed that no one has lost a limb. He said he expected all would make a full recovery in terms of walking and returning to work. He added, however: ‘Whether they will be completely unimpaired it is too early to say.’ Medical professionals gathered at the press conference said they were proud of how Noble’s staff and paramedics had responded to a challenging situation and the emergency plan for dealing with multiple admissions had worked as it should.

Anyone find any pics of themselves on fantttastic.com ? Found myself going round Windy Corner (again), but this time the pic is taken on the inside of the bend. Might buy it. Found another few of our group as well.
Just got back had a great time the weather was brilliant and the racing equally as good. No speeding fines this year either. Plenty of pics to sort through Guy Martin by (MrB), on Flickr
We stayed at St George's next to the grandstand too. Booked the ferry for next year but can't return until the Monday following the senior race which is a bit pants but at least it'll give me an opportunity to have a blast round the course when everyone else has gone home. Going on my lonesome so would be good to meet up with some folk from here.
No. I was a foot passenger as I went with wife and brother and his family. Don't have a castrol blade but saw it. Also saw the mcGuinness special edition, very nice.
You liked that McGuinness special ? really ? You would likely have seen mine sitting about as well. And my mates black MV Agusta F4. What a bike that is.
