    Me too..... I'm starting to think.....where shall I watch it this year.....already done the following, so need to do somewhere different this year.
    Creg Ny baa
    Signpost corner
    Gooseneck
    Bungalow
    Crosby leap
    Ago'S leap
    Branden bridge
    Grandstand
    Ballacraine.

    Think I might try a practice session at "windy corner", but not sure about parking.....
    And I'd like to try Guthries, but again parking is a mare and your pretty much stranded.

    Looking forward to it as well. I will probably be looking for picture taking possibilities, and not just the usual Ballaugh Bridge shots.

    Good light, and riders in scenery, maybe mountain sections, rider and spectators, finish line, pictures that record time and place.

    And as a bonus some of the Hollywood film making if they do turn up to make the film like is rumoured.

    Will be using a Fuji X-Pro1 camera and a 35mm f2 lens. Not an ideal camera set up for fast sports action ! but as the racing can be quite close I am sure it can be made to work.

    Maybe get another lens to go with it !
