Has to be better than last year - couldnt find our seats and by the time we did, race got cancelled (and result announced after 2 laps so they didnt have to reimburse)


Waterproofs werent waterproof so got soaked through.


Bit of sun wouldnt go amiss!

Top Tip BBB


Dont park at the car park next to the Giants Causeway - they charge you, even for bikes.


Just down the hill, past the entrance to the Giants Causeway there is a Steam Train station with Free parking and a small Cafe (they'll even look after your helmets for you). Only a short walk up the hill from there.


Also, you dont need to pay for the Giants causeway - dont go into the Reception/Gift shop - walk up the side and you can get access over the top of the reception and walk right over to where the sightseeing buses are - you can either hop on one of them or walk down the road.

Keep a look out for unmarked traffic police aswell as marked cars and camera vans on the A75. They are bound to be out over the weekend.
