Isle of Wight Briskoda invasion part 2, Saturday 13th January

cheezemonkhai · 13-11-2006, 13:17

Tis good ale

Not to mention the selection of pubs and good curry houses too.

mdk1 · 13-11-2006, 20:23

Don't mind what time in the morning. Not much later than 8pm for the return.

pixi · 13-11-2006, 21:23

How about 9 am then? and where are the decent curry houses please

I went to an award winning one in Stratford the other weekend and it sure was lovely

devonutopia · 13-11-2006, 21:25

9am makes sense.

Meet at that car park overlooking the sea at about 8am.

20VLIL · 13-11-2006, 22:49

That'll be Mayflower park me thinks

I was thinking about the 10am boat myself but you know anything works for me.

I'm still waiting for red funnel to get back to me at the moment, but we shall see what they say. I'll let you all know asap.

Chill Pixi. Think about it. If they are going to get the 9am Red Funnel ferry you are talking 10am before they arrive in the land of the Pixi's as you put it. Not too early now is it.

20VLIL · 16-11-2006, 22:32

Do we meet up at the ferry terminal then??

The mainland folk tend to meet at the Mayflower carpark just down the road from the ferry terminal in Southampton, and we meet around that Spar?? supermarket just up the road in Cowes I believe.

20VLIL · 16-11-2006, 23:14

Thanks...I know where you mean now!

mdk1 · 17-11-2006, 20:38

Any news from the ferry company yet, re group discount?

Would be better this time around to have somewhere more open and less busy, and more pre-determined to all pull in and get the convoy back together.

20VLIL · 17-11-2006, 20:55

Tis quite difficult round there.....I gather you met at the car park opposite theshop?

Nope they are usless. I was in pixi land today by foot and asked and supprisingly the woman isn't in today. They are muppets!

I will call again on monday and try to push tha matter.

cheezemonkhai · 23-11-2006, 10:12

Red W*nkers now claim they don't do a discount for multiple vehicles with the exception of for a sports club.

Tired wightlink, they also don't do discount and are talking £40 for a day return.

Both lots can't confirm a price as they don't update their prices until some time in december.

pixi · 23-11-2006, 11:24

Only mad people venture over here in the winter so there will be deals gallore for January. Most of the time you are talking £27.50 for a day return which is a very good deal if you compare it to other prices in the summer. It may need to be booked online though and there may be conditions

It's blowing a flippin hooley again today and if I look out of the window here I can see those white horses galloping around the solent. I certainly wouldn't like to be out there. This weather is interfering with my need to shop

I will check out the Woodvale pub as an eating place but it's in Gurnard which is just around the corner from West Cowes, so not really in tune with a lunchtime stop.
