I have not booked anything yet Ray but my plans are to stay at the campsite the football team run at st Johns, they provide breakfasts, shgowers, tea etc. campsite is nice and level and its a kind of quiet crowd. its a stones throw from Ballicraine corner or Glen Helen. there are two pubs the Tynwald Inn and The Farmers arms (this was closed last time I was there) bus stop is a 3 min walk should you wish to go into Douglas and not be able to ride your bike back


If there is a small number of us going I could probably swing indoor accomodation in the church hall at St johns.
there would be about 20 others in the hall so there are noises in the night, it has catering, toilets, and if it rains you dont get wet, no drink or offensive behaviour is aloud, but its only a couple of quid a night to help run the hall.

I usualy stay here but I use the showers and breakfast at the football pitch and thought it looked like a change.
