Just rub it in how much closer it is for you lot, you lucky northerners!![]()
Us southerners are taking a whole day to get there!![]()
See you all soon!

We are well placed for some of the big shows but Brighton Breeze is in term time and just too far

And I won't bore you with how long it took us to get to Poole last August

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeek

" Ferry services to and from the Isle of Man may be delayed or cancelled later in the week following predictions of bad weather in the Irish Sea.
Current weather forecasts indicate the risk of a north westerly gale 8 to severe gale 9 on Thursday and Friday.
The strong winds could affect Viking's sailings to and from Liverpool, Lancashire, Belfast and Dublin. "

Glad to hear you're all ready for us Ian.
I was hopeing that you would come on and poo-poo that news report, tell us it's all over exagerated and it's going to be lovely.
I feel a long wait on a quayside coming on.
Anyone know exactually where in Liverpool the quay is?
Fantastic day here today, bugger!

As you come into Liverpool follow the brown tourist signs for the Royal Albert Dock, and you will see the IOM ferry signposted.
Just bear in mind we are going to be hitting Liverpool at rush-hour on a bank hol Friday

Good point, must allow a bit more time. Although we could have plenty of time if the ferry gets delayed

Cheers Chewie,
we're camping in Thurstaston Thursday night, just west of j4 M53, so will be coming through the Kingsway tunnel. I assume it'll be signposted from there?
