Who is deemed to be the "landowner" here then Helen? The path is a public right of way. I know this because I erected the signposts when I worked for the D.O.T. Surely the roadside hedge is the responsibility of the D.O.T. also? All that should be necessary is the metal cage to extend for around 40 metres past Signpost Corner exit.
Anybody coming over for the day to watch and walking up to the circuit off the boat, so that they can get back easily to return home, is going to be extremely hard-pressed to find ANYWHERE to watch from.........

I fully agree that there are places where the public shouldn't be for safety's sake, but this is totally over the top. Basically these days you cannot watch from anywhere between Hillberry (assuming you will still be allowed to do so) right back down to the finish.
I am glad to hear that the situation is being discussed but I won't be holding my breath.

But as I say, the main flavour of my original posting is that the TT spectators should be made aware of the situation sooner rather than later.
