Haysham Ferry Port to Douglas IOM,

[meskie]

Fri 24 April Arriving Haysham Ferry Port after two hours riding with no problems we start to meet up with other bikers on this trip 12 bikes now with another two off road bikes in a van .Isle of Man has some great off road rides with lots of boggs to cross.

Haysham Ferry Port not the best i have been to but it is the closest to us for the IOM . We must have set off first or we have been speeding all the way

Others are arriving and the rest are on the way from Newcastle /Durham

All together now and with the two in the van that makes 14 bikes .one dropped out last minuite gear problems

Haysham docks ,a busy little port TT week you cannot move here for bikes.

Not last to join us ,He turns up everywhere i go this time he left his hat and bought a new shirt.

Where did you get that from ,dont tell me USA .
He has the blue goldwing with the two outrider wheels on it
sorry ,just had to put that one in ..

Even this ferry has some space on it but to tie a bike down i have seen better ,although it is only a 3 hour crossing and not rough it will be ok one hopes.
Looking inside the ferry pleanty of room .

Yes that is it all tied down and ready ,

Even room for me and the tractor .

Newcastle crowd and Durham on board

Leaving Haysham port .
