Our TT trip this year has to include a practice session at Gorse lea, but I need to know is it possible to park at the farm with our VW campervan ?

Re: Gorse Lea parking.
Advice from John Foster, a well-known GorseLea marshal:
A VW camper should be able to negotiate the tight turn into the field behind Harold's. I've seen bigger vans in there, and Harold welcomes anything.
Pass the Hawthorn amd Watsons' Nursery
Turn left into Kennaa Lane where you may see the wishy-washy corner sign for Gorse Lea
Drive about 40-50 yards down Kennaa Lane and, on the crest, negotiate the tight turn into the field on the right
There are paths through to Harold's gardens and to the field alongside the course.
You are quite close to the old railway line for some pedestrian access to neighbouring parts of the course towards Greeba.
You can escape by van along Kennaa Lane to The Hope/St Johns when roads are closed.
