I'll be doing this again this year but plan to cycle from home 120 round miles providing the weather is ok.
Wightlink often have a 2 for 1 offer for foot passengers on their website nearer the date.
We'll be starting from East Cowes as that is where the ferry takes us from Southampton, that is the checkpoint before Wooton. If you want to meet up that would be fun, we could do like we did on the Hampshire Bimble and wait for each other so no one is left behind and make it a more sociable event.Well I've registered, booked myself onto the Kite Hill campsite (thanks Cunobelin) and booked the ferry so I guess I'm doing this after all! Is it the case that you can start from any of the checkpoints? Where are the others who will be doing the longer route going to start from? It might be nice to start out together, even if some of us soon get left behind . The nearest checkpoint to the campsite is Wootton.
Cool sounds good but I was planning on starting from Yarmouth coa there are terrible queues at cowes
I'll be staying with my sister in Cowes, so it would be easier for me - I don't remember the queueing being a problem last year. IIRC it runs clockwise this year, so Wooton is the next control after E. Cowes?Yes you're right, hadn't thought of that. We might be better to cycle on to Wooton and start there.
Are you joining us?
At his beck and call, ready to pamper him at every opportunity.
Luxurious meals laid out on fine linen and the finest silver.
