Title: NW200
Post by: guest7 on February 08, 2010, 06:30:09 PM

Anyone got the dates for the North West this year? I need to start thinking about booking my ferry etc.

Anyone else going?

Found this:

"International North West 200 Race Director Mervyn Whyte MBE has today confirmed that the 2010 event will take place on Saturday 15th May."
 
I'd better get planning then  ;)

Just had a cursory look into ferry prices. I intend sailing from Fishguard to Rosslare and then riding up the east coast. On the return leg i will get the ferry from Dublin to Holyhead and ride home through Wales. Cost at the moment for ferries (on StenaLine as they cover both routes) is £98.

As I intend camping out rather than using B&Bs or hotels it could be a cheap weekend.

Graham, if you look in a motorcycle news they always has a discount code for Stenaline, especially for the NW200, you get a good saving.

These have been codes in the past A002 and V780, probably expired now.

Cheers for that Mark. Do you also have the code that unfreezes my wife's face from a frown? She's been that way for the last ten minutes since I marked the dates in our calendar  :D
