We have just booked for it, not a campsite but someones HUGE back garden, toilets, fresh water etc

£70 for 3 nights
£50 for 2 nights

Can get you details if you wish?

I just wouldn't pay the over inflated prices the camp sites are charging for the NW200

About 30 I think, and a short walk across a road to see racing. Cannot see it from van.

MCCNI rally is on at Portrush Primary School again this year.

£35 for a years membership and about £15 per rally... Not bad!

I know there are members who only join to get somewhere for ther NW200 weekend.

I second that Esther, they would still be there if it wasn't for us.

And to my darling husband, putting chicken in the oven at 3am is NOT normal, although it did taste good.

Great weekend, bikes, what bikes

Ally thank you for complimenting my singing.... what is a banshee?
