Off to Pahnd Island and I'm due to dock during evening practice. I
need to get inside the circuit over at Barregarrow towards Kirk
Michael and can see a way to get where I need to get to past Injebreck
reservoir.

Question is, from the Ferry port, is the "inside" of the track well
signed or can anyone tell me where exactly in Douglas the track
crossing is.

Cheers in advance

Service road by Kirk Braddan, generally aim for the hospital.

Indeed. The end you want comes out on to New Castletown Road (A5) just
short of the roundabout that is on the course after Quarter Bridge. It
is usually sign-posted as "TT Access Road" IIRC.

Don't worry. The ferry will be late and practice will be over by the time
you dock.

You're probably right. Just means pitching tent in the pitch black,
rather than just in the dark.

Cheers all. I was looking much further round to the right-hand side of
Douglas and Google was no help.
