Hi all, im travelling a 5-6 hour journey to get the steampacket at Liverpool to Douglas in my van for the iom manx and classic TT.
My ferry is 11 next Sunday so I guess i need to be there 2 hours before for checking in, boarding in my van etc.
With the travel involved (280miles) and risking a 20 year trip in the making by being delayed, i was going to travel the night before and sleep in my van near the ferry.
I had a look online and can see theres spaces nearby the terminal on the myparking website in an industrial estate. I was going to park up night before about 10pm and sleep there. Ill pay if I need to overnight of course.
Can this be done or is this type of thing impossible with lots of people in the area doing the same. Or is there anything I need to be wary of?
Any advice greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Apologies mods if this counts as political (mods, pls delete if inappropriate but this is not election-related so I figured it was within the rules), but I’m very disappointed by the outpouring of support that’s been shown for this dreadful woman in the various Manx social streams on places like Facebook.
She’s been very vocal about her disdain for the RNLI, which has always had unwavering support in the island, and she describes Andrew Tate and “Tommy Robinson” as “my boys”.
The Manx Bard writes an inoffensive little poem which is, essentially “be excellent to each other” and he’s excoriated in terms which are indistinguishable from blood-and-soil nationalism.
The commenters are very vocal about free speech, but fail to see the irony in their constant refrain of “there’s a boat in the morning” is the pinnacle of cancel culture.
Sorry, rant over. Mods, if there’s somewhere more appropriate to post this please let me know.
