I tested my waterproofs on Saturday as it was lashing it down when I took the FireBlade for new rubber then MOT.

All was good.
I'm taking an umbrella too to keep rain off while sat at Liverpool docks.

Good plan; I usually take a cape, £5 from Decathlon, sit on it, in it shelter en masse under it, folds into a small pack for race days; sorted! Must buy a new radio though....

Mrs D.
Make sure you grab an official TT program and a radio to listen to RadioTT...both are essential to know "what's on" during the fortnight.

are you camping, homestay or hotel?

I never would have thought of a poncho / cape. That is pretty handy. I'll make sure to grab one.

I saw the pic and was wondering/hoping the Steam Racket had introduced Fast Cat ferries frown

As long as it's not rough I don't mind to be honest.
