I know we had this subject in a previous thread, but thought I'd start afresh as I've now booked my marshalling duties for the week and confirmed the ferry out/into Liverpool.
My duties are:
Sun 18 Aug - 12:45 Sector 1 Union Mills
Mon 19 Aug - 18:00 Sector 2 Ballagarey
Tue 20 Aug - 18:00 Sector 3 Gorse Lea
Wed 21 Aug - 12:30 Sector 4 Cronk y Voddy Crossroads
Wed 21 Aug - 18:00 Sector 5 Burnside
Thu 22 Aug - 18:00 Sector 6 Douglas Road Corner
Thu 22 Aug - 12:30 Sector 6 Alpine
Fri 23 Aug - 9:30 Sector 9 Mountain Mile
Sat 24 Aug - 11:00 Sector 11 33rd
Sun 25 Aug - 12:45 Sector 11 33rd
Mon 26 Aug - 9:30 Sector 10 Verandah
I'll be staying at a friends rather wonderful house in Kirk Michael again. Turn left on the Peel road at Douglas Road Corner, couple of hundred yards down & up a dip on the left is the gate.
I just don't know what bike I'll be on...
Who's doing what?
Cheers
LCMarky

Usual place mark staying on Agos leap. I’ll be seeking out Johnny again. Mate is taking his zxr400 instead of his zx10 or H2 supercharged thing as they both are too big for going fast on and I may be on the Lc or something else if I’ve sold it. Yet to be decided.

Old American bloke, called bob always has a bottle of chilli oil in a pouch During my time at the Helicopter Field last year a Geman dude on a bike I can't remember the name off had a stash of Schnapps courtesy of his bike brands' open day fete or something. I'll try & find a pic of it - lovely machine).

I'm off tomorrow morning for the 11:45 out of Liverpool.
Have decided to take the GS Adventure for a number of reasons & that's despite getting the LC absolutely ready to go. I need to take some presentable clothing for a reception with the Luitentant Governor on Tuesday too!!
Should we attempt a forum meet up? I'll keep an eye out for the LC'S so if you see a GS rider waving madly at you it'll be me!!
Safe travels.

I’ll try to pop over to where you’re marshalling Mark. Keep your eye out for an extremely loud akai Lc (again). Have fun. 👍

A mate has a 1250 GS, he chucks it around like its a crosser, amazing how capable they are. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

You found the Hobbit 🤪
Nice to finally put a face to a name Sorry I couldn’t spare much time this morning as one of our riders only just got here after being delayed flying in from USA. So had to fit GPS tracked ect before scrutineering.
Hope to catch up with you later in the week
Best regards Johnny C

Looking at the bloody weather I suspect there will be plenty of time. Peeing it down at the moment. Got out this morning Douglas to Ramsey and back again. Practice cancelled.

![](https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240819/128de536fba32da6438affd6e3d6fd87.jpg) The horizontal rain suits the GS. Turned back today just after the gooseneck as it was crazy windy. Popped in to see the boys at the Kirk Michael website but they’d taken to bus to the pub I was told. Will try again at some point.

The weather is a bit grim !
Have strapped the workshop awnings to the 3 trucks as best we can and hopefully none will get damaged as it’s very windy now Feel sorry for people camping
Hopefully weather gets better tomorrow
Will be going the pub soon 🍷🍷 You know it makes sense 👍
I have been taking loads of photos over last few days and will upload to a Flickr album when I get home.
Best regards Johnny C
