Hi,

Visit Cronk-Dhoo Website

bunk house is £14 pppn

Camping is £6.50 pppn

plenty of places.

That would be £83 for the ferry, £28 for the bed / showers.

£111 for the week-end.

£96 in the tent.

For an extra £15 I'd rather have the warmth and not have to carry a tent

Ill see if i can book some holidays now, (as I'm at work)


Cheers
Lew


EDIT : cant get the time off work, appears lots of people are off that day, not sure why. Must be near school holidays or something.

Its a Bank Holiday for the royal wedding !

Who do you work for , Lewis ?

[ChrisG]

I might be up for this but I a nasty suspicion that a mate's planning his stag do for that weekend

[Trebor]

I'm up for it. Not too keen on camping, so will go for the bunk house. Any ferry is ok with me.
Are we doing a block booking or are we booking individually?

Ivan,

Dave

[Geordie Guy]

Ooppss !

Thursday , Friday and Saturday night

Yep thats 3.

[ChrisG]

Why not the Sunday night? It's a bank holiday Monday. If we (girlfiend could well be up for it on her Divvy) can make this we'll probably stay Friday/Saturday/Sunday nights leaving us Friday and Monday for travelling it's probably 5-6 hours to Liverpool with a relatively new rider in tow.

Chris, the only reason for me was still to have bank holiday Monday off at home to do things.

If you want to stay on another night Go for it.

I am sure Pensioner Pete would stay on, every day is bank holiday for him !

Good to hear you can make it Pete, Its starting to fill up into a RGT, ( Reet get together ! ).

Does his pass get him any discount on the I-O-M?

[pete7]

all right, all right, all right - OAP-dom its not as cushy as it looks, bear in mind:

1. I can only stay as long as SWMBO now also a pensioner, allows it
2. my bus pass does NOT work on IoM , even though I spent 42 years in the industry
3. I can no longer play football anymore like you young guys, and am condemned to only watch NUFC (and tear me hair oot)
4. you will be old and creaky yourselves someday don't forget

......but I am still looking forward to April

What you all must remember is the need now for 'Travel Insurance' for the island cause 'Greedy Gordon' scrapped the reciprocal arrangement with the Manx Health Service, and if anyone is unlucky enough to hurt themselves badly, whilst walking back from the pub etc they could have a nasty bill.

I dont think that statement is true, Rallyist ... Agrrement on health care reached

But, I am open to confirmation otherwise.

[Rallyist]

I stand corrected, didn't think they had reached agreement. However I suggest you read the last paragraph which could come into play.
Names Graham by the way.

Which ferry have you booked on? I will try and get the same times. Any body going from around the Derby area.

Well, Graham By-the-way. you have a point !

The Isle of Man Government’s Department of Health stresses that repatriation is not and never has been covered by the Reciprocal Healthcare Agreement. It is therefore strongly recommended that all residents who travel off the Isle of Man should make sure that they have appropriate and adequate insurance in place to cover repatriation.

Trebor !

Booked in on the 7 pm from Liverpool Thurs, 28th April and the 3.00pm from Douglas on Sunday the 1st May.

[big dave]

Myself and the "box of frogs" have just booked the ferries

7.00pm from the 'pool on 28th April, returning on the 3.00pm ferry from IoM on Moday 2nd May.

Email sent to Lynne this very minute, so digs should be booked within the next couple of days.
