I think the hotels book up but there's a lot of capacity on the boats do I don't think that's an issue.

Not true - the ferry is the problem unless you go on foot. Hotels may well be booked - I haven't checked - but there is plenty of camping available.

No idea on what campsite we're at, supposed to be at the end of the mountain- it'll be easier for Craig to push his bike back when he either A) breaks down, or B) finishes it in the scenery

I got caught out like that on my first ever TT trip  with a bill of over £100 for a week away (bearing in mind back then my monthly bill was about £14) Since then I just put the phone on aircraft mode and enjoy being "off the radar". it is a holiday after all

Yes we have two networks sure and manx telecom,you can buy sim cards for a couple of quid but we are classed as international rate when you phone the UK, a couple of years ago if you phoned mobile to a mobile across both people got charged, best to use a landline if possible.
