Dry and sunny TT week - fantstic.
Last I was there (1995 or 97) it rained 13 days out of 14.

I'm surprised that you can still drive on the old mines.

In the five years I lived there it was the only thing that really peed me off (apart from the stupid ferry prices) the bloody weather... 1 super hot TT and 1 ok and 3 cold and wet........ very wet.......

As we reckon we will go next year its gonna be a wet cold one.....

spoke to soon, raining today but still warm, no racing though so not too much of a problem. Hopefully it will be fine for the senior tomorrow
