SUMMARY:Isle of Man Tour/Wizz 2026
DESCRIPTION:A change for 2026 with a move to July for this popular wizz/tour to the mighty Isle of Man. \nThis is open to all the membership and will be a five (5) day trip;  three (3) on the island with a day either side to travel up and back home.  Overall\, you can expect to be covering around 1300-1500 miles\, planned and organised into manageable stages in true SMART tradition. As usual we avoid the annual TT and other race dates to miss the crowds and enjoy the amazing quiet roads and beauty of the isle. \nWe shall of course\, ride the infamous TT circuit\, at least once which is over 37 miles of superbly prepared and maintained road through every type of environment imaginable and guaranteed variety of weather conditions and temperatures all in one circuit. The Island is not just about the TT Circuit\, so we shall mostly be using the wide variety of roads the island offers\, especially those less seen and used with all the majestic scenery the island offers. \nThere are some classic bike museums on the island and so we plan to be visiting at least one of these during the trip too. \n\nAccommodation as previous years\, will be with the Arrandale hotel in Douglas\, with restaurants and bars a short walk for our evening meals.\nHotel costs have been held at 2024 prices £45 ppn for Twin Sharing and £70 pn for a Single.  Board will be B&B.  As far as rooms are concerned\, we shall endeavour to meet your room preference\, but availability may mean compromises.  The 2026 Ferry prices are currently unpublished\, but anticipate they will be circa £130 return per bike.  We shall be departing from Liverpool and the return will be to either Liverpool or Heysham. [We will update further once timetables and costs are published]. \nLunches will be at iconic motorcycling locations on the island (Creg ny Baa pub\, Victory Cafe and Peel Castle or a new cafe on the TT circuit if open)\, with evening meals at a couple of well tried restaurants. \nDates are Sunday 12th July returning on Thursday 16th with 15 places for riders. \n\nImportant:\nWhilst our Wizzes are open to all and Wizz/tour newbies are encouraged; we do have some safety criteria that you must meet. \nSo before you come forward and to avoid disappointment please read our Prepare for a Wizz and ensure you are comfortable with the advice and that you do or will meet the criteria. If in any doubt as to the suitability of this trip then please discuss with your Instructor or directly with me. \n  \nIf you would like more information or wish to reserve your place and join us then please contact Andrew Jupp – atwjupp@yahoo.com clearly stating your room preference.

SUMMARY:Wales Tour/Wizz - September 2026
DESCRIPTION:This is a tour/wizz that has become such a group favourite that we currently do it twice a year! Broadly speaking\, for 2026 we will repeat the previous successful 4 day format … for July travelling to Wales on Monday and returning on a Thursday with September Tuesday to Friday both with two full days exploring some of the very best roads in the UK. We deliberately choose to avoid school holidays and weekends\, so we don’t have to share with too many caravans or other traffic.  Overall we’re talking of around 1200 miles planned and organised into manageable stages. \nFor 2026 we are organising for July 6th – 9th and a repeat for September 1st – 4th. \nThis event is open to all our group members\, and we do encourage Tour/Wizz newbies.  But please be aware that the overall mileage\, duration\, road conditions and weather combine to make this a challenging trip… ie: tiring but fun.. and very rewarding!  Please read the notes below and check with your instructor if you are in doubt as to the suitability of the trip. \nI will once again be aided and abetted by my two Welsh Politburo co-conspirators Roger Manning and Hugh Curran. \nWe have arranged accommodation and meals in the Hotel Commodore in Llandindrod Wells (https://hotelcommodore.co.uk/) at a special rate for dinner\, bed and breakfast for three nights at £420 for those in a single room\, and £257 for those sharing in a twin or double. \nPlease note that single rooms will likely be in short supply.  We shall be limiting Tour/Wizz numbers to a manageable maximum of 30 riders\, and if previous trips are anything to go by\, demand will greatly outstrip supply\, and spaces may have to be allocated as fairly as we can.  Pillions are very welcome. \n*IMPORTANT* \nWhilst our Tours / Wizzes are open to all; we do have some safety criteria that you must meet.  So before you come forward and to avoid disappointment please read our Preparing for a Tour and ensure you are comfortable with the advice and that you do or will meet the criteria.\nIf in any doubt then discuss with your Instructor\, Roger or myself. \nIf you would like to reserve a place (to be confirmed once final details are known)\, or have questions\, please email me on timbenians@gmail.com.\nIn the first instance\, please let me know the dates you want to book for\, and your sharing/single room preference. \nThanks\, Tim \n
