    Is it recommended?

    Would be prepared to walk a few miles rather than waiting hours for a bus or getting stuck in traffic. I don't see an charge for bike parking and wonder if they would be lenient. Cars are charged up to E30 :eek:

    (Not too concerned about bike security as I would be on a rough looking Bros with a good selection of locks)

    If i were going, and i am considering it, i'll go on the bike and wing parking it. Did it for marley park and it worked out fine. Stewards haven't a clue what to do with the bike so i just pointed and told them i'd find somewhere to attach it to...

    I arrived at Dublin Ferryport 3/4 hour before my sailing and the parking stewart told me it was e7 a day to park a bike in the long term compound and that it would be clamped if it wasn't paid for. Its the type of BS some of these stewarts can come out with if power gets to their heads. I managed to talk my way out of this guy.

    Sounds similar to the little brats that offer to "mind" your car if you park it on some streets in town. i.e. give them a tenner or they will key your car.

    Either way, there will in all liklihood be a couple of bikes going, and they generally tend to direct them together. I don't know which carpark to go to, but I'd be tending to the closest one to the venue because you can be sure to get in and out quicker than any cars and in all fairness, the least you have to walk in biker gear the better :D

    I locked the helmets to the bike on the occasions so I didn't have to lug them around.

    Keep them well off the ground, I had a dog piss into one a number of years ago. People are liable to do the same at this event. :p

    ha ha, I actually don't know how much they charge - don't care for that nonsense myself.

    I'm only going on a "friend of a friend" story who didn't pay the fee and paid the price...
