June 10th is Senior Race day and will be the busiest day of the fortnight. If you decide to go to Ronaldsway Manx Flyers will likely be very busy so it's a good idea to book in with them advance. They may be able to help with with transport, or at least arrange a taxi for you. Having said that, it may prove better to hire a car for the day (available in the airport terminal). Failing those options, you could try the bus! (See here for details.) Transport options from Andreas may be rather more limited. It's a public holiday on the island and the roads will be very busy, particularly in Douglas.

Whichever you decide to go to, Ronaldsway would appreciate a flight plan (sent to EGNSZPZX). Sorry to sound patroninsing, but do check your NOTAMs before departure and also have a read of this AIC for details of airspace restrictions used to protect the medevac helicopters. Call Ronaldsway nice and early on 120.850 and don't enter CAS without a clearance. If you're going to Andreas and are quite low Ronaldsway may not be able to hear you - if this is the case then try Scottish Info on 119.875 before changing to Andreas Radio on 130.1.

Oh and a quick heads up for the 10th - sunset should be around 21:45 I think, so you may be able to stick around for the planned evening entertainment.

Most of all, have a great time - I'll be stuck in work (at least until lunch time)!
