Have been phoning round all morning and have managed to book what is probably the last room in Cookstown from wed - sun

Trouble is its a family room so have got to pay full price for it £80 per night.
The owner is happy for me to share with someone which will make it £40 each.
Its the Kelly Cob House wear all the race officials stay.
They've got a lockable garage for parking bikes in

Please let me know ASAP if anyone is interested

OK, we’re just two weeks away from Diggertours, time to let you have some of the itinerary – all of which is optional, of course! Hopefully this will enable some of the “locals” to plan their time and join us when they can.

I’ll be riding up from Devils Bridge with Sheepy, Robin, Bulldog & Conquistador for the 15:00 ferry on Wed 27th. That’ll put us at the Royal Hotel, Cookstown at scrantime on Wed.

Thursday, meet at The Royal Hotel at 10:30 am with full tanks for a tour of the Sperrin Mountains. Ride will be approx 100 miles.

Thursday evening is the Classic Bike Run from Cookstown, so we’ll be back to watch that. They will gather at the Burn Road Car Park from 18:30 to 19:30.

Friday morning – I’d recommend a visit to the Burnavon Theatre to see the Joey – King of the Roads exhibition if you’ve not seen it before.

Meet at the Royal Hotel at 12:00 for a ride to the circuit – plan is to watch practice from the Start-Finish Grandstand. Roads close at 2:15.

Saturday is race day. Meet at 10am prompt at The Royal Hotel – ride to the circuit to watch from Craigmount.


Sunday, meet at the Royal Hotel at 10am with full tanks for a ride to Donegal & the Blue Stack Mountains, approx 150 miles.

Monday, we’ll be back over to Larne, leaving Cookstown around 10am.

Sounds good. We'll be arriving Thurs so will miss the day jaunt but will see you for the evening.

Magz has sorted all the admin, accommodation, ferry and route etc, all I have to do is find my key...I seem to remember chaining it to a tractor tyre, but where did I...

See you there...hopefully
