Haven't been to the Classic but that aside, the only advice I can give is to sort your accommodation and transport before booking your flights Colin - accommodation in particular gets booked up well in advance - my mate has already booked for 2019!

I assume you will fly to the UK then onward with Manx Airways to Castletown IoM where you'll need to book a hire car.

That'll halve the population of Col's from NZ on the forum if you get over there. I'll be all on me lonesome - again.  You're bound to run into Stoli there, he'll be the one with the hangover & 'Stoli Very Blue' bike, and a 6'5" German missus that wears the pants.
