Cookstown 100 this weekend - stand by for BBC1 NI showing it this coming
week. Or not, as the case may be. **** nose if they're showing it at all
this year, as the TV coverage of the tail end of last season just
vanished.

 

I'd done it for a season or two before last year, and someone else with
a faster upload was able to get there quicker last year.
If B1NI are doing it, it will be available via Sky dishes for certain.

 

Fucking luddite.

Paul.

 

North West 200 on the 16th May.

<Happy Dance>

Not missing it this year, I didn't bother with it last year.

Paul.

 

Pah! I contemplated coming over for it (relatives in Coleraine, see),
but a) all the ferries were booked and b) it's a fucker of a long way
to get to anywhere from here!

I did think about flying but that then makes it a tad awkward then the
other side for getting to/from the race.

 

It's not looking good anyway.
I can find no mention of B1NI covering anything small this year. There's
a deal been hammered out for NW200 coverage from 2010 to 2014, but nowt
for this year and nothing for the smaller races.
I did find mention of Setanta covering at least one of the smaller meets
of the latter half of last season, so perhaps that's where it's gone.

The only cheery note (apart from the NW200) is the BBC are covering the
TT for sure.

Still looking.

 

Bad form. blah.

Behind the Red Button.

I wonder if some of the others might be there too.

 

Aha!

All is well again. That B1NI site is a pain in the arse.

 

Heh, I din't even think about the ferry/flight availability being a
problem. But you're right.

I'd best think about travel a bit further in advance.
