Isle of Wight invasion part 3.....saturday 16th February 2008

pixi · 10-10-2007, 13:02

The time has come to pinpoint an actual day to take part in the annual Isle of wight invasion. This date is not set in stone but gives people the chance to plan ahead and get christmas out of the way. Also, it gives you the chance to opt out of taking your S/HWMBO away for Valentines and come here instead

I may include a treasure hunt this time as I have taken part in a couple lately but I guess you would all need sat nav in case you got lost and couldn't find your way back to the pub!

Ferry fares should be cheap if booked on line..... Isle of Wight Ferries, Isle of Wight Holidays - Red Funnel IoW or Official Wightlink Site for Isle of Wight Ferries ; Online Bookings I think they were around £30 last time.
Share your thoughts on the date and things you feel should be included, apart from the obligatory pub lunch

Peace brothers.

Update

1)? Meet at Mayflower park about 08.30 close to the ferry for those that want to.
2)09.20 ferry from Southampton to East Cowes, it takes one hour and there is a cafe doing hot food inc brekkie on board.
3)Arrive in E.Cowes and I will meet you in the car park opposite Alldays which is about a ten second drive off the ferry, you have to go past it. It's on the left as you approach the pedestrian crossing.
4)I will give you some uninteresting stuff inc a map with some satnav stuff on if you are too lazy to put it in before hand (map link is currentely at the bottom of page 7).
5)Make our way to the Steam railway car park in Havenstreet PO33 4DS for our first stop for photees if so wished by local dealer who is based about 30 seconds up the road.
6)Continue through some countryside and then head for the beach at Ryde where we can park up and get a coffee and take further pictures of cars whilst I take The Harold for a run on the beach. You are allowed to laugh at her stupidity when she chases birds if you so require. PO33 1ND
7)Then head for another beach stop location called The Duver where you may like to vacate your vehicles for a bit. PO33 1YB
8) TBC.........

count me in pix... the red funnel ferry from southampton was £27 last time round, but i booked mine nice and early, so possibly it may cost more if you leave it a bit later

Not booking until the new year, but it will probably be a 7am/8am one.

I'm waiting on potential companions for the trip yet.
