1) It will rain. Camp on high ground. Water proof tent and riding cloths..
2) Have you got your tickets to get across and back? If going by the ferry .. these sell out about a year before .. so...
3) Glenloug Camp site is fair. Not first class abolitions ... but OK. Make up for that by being beside the course... a long walk from a real pub, but has on site tentpub. You can catch a bus into town for a night out... It is a farm some of the time. Has a back entry that you can use when the race roads are closed off, so you can get around if you know how to avoid the race road closures. It is just west of Union Mills.
4) See rule 1. Following rule 1 should minimise the rain.
5) I'd take a GPS.
6) If you buy the race guide on the island .. do you get the radio with it? Having a radio means you get to hear about what is going on .. race call offs etc. You can bring your own. FM IIRC.
7) Camera! Charge the battery before each race day .. saves finding it flat mid race!
Rule 0) Have fun. Not hard on the Isle. 100 different brews of to try out.
