Good one.

Although passports are a sore point. She was allowed out the UK to Denmark whilst on a 6 month VISA, but on her return 7 days later they retained her passport and she was effectively deported back to Canada within a fortnight of her return to the UK....

Typical really - spoke English, was an economic +++ to the country,,,

£27.50 is very good..I paid about £45 last time I went to the mainland about a fortnight ago

i will try to make it if i can get a SWMBO pass

Jonny5ive · 26-12-2005, 10:48

Not yet, waiting for confirmation as to who is definately going, don't want be the only one!. Would be much better if we all got the same crossing though, what about the 11:30am crossing from Portsmouth to Fishbourne?. We could all just turn up and pay on the day?.

Sounds fine to me, however the general concensus (sp) was that pre-booking was cheaper

I am trying to sort out some discounted accomodation for anyone who wants to travel from afar.

I'll keep you posted

Fabia 12v · 26-12-2005, 14:49

id be up for 11:30 from portsmouth.

devonutopia · 27-12-2005, 18:22

I think to make a day of it we need a 9am or 10am ferry. I'd sooner book the £27.50 with the people I found. Either way I am a definite! Add your names if you're serious about going.

1) Jason (on his own at the moment)

Smokey Six · 29-12-2005, 11:24

Dont Forget, you West Countryers. That ther is always the ferry from Lyminton (35 mins) to Yarmouth.
That way you start at one end of the Island and get to see it all by doing a circuit. Where are you gathering for Lunch beer etc.?

Are the locals invited?,,Why not try the Aviator Bar at Sandown Airport ---Airport?? well airstrip-- Good food plenty of parking beer is OK too.

Per car with up to 4 people in it.

I'm booking now after getting the go-ahead from my mate & Shis SWMBO they'd like to come too. Which boat time I'm not sure of - perhaps it would be better to have a meeting point / time on I.O.W rather than in Southampton?

I'm going to book a boat for around 9.30/10am.

Gonna go for the 9.30am leaving from S.hamp and the 21.35 leaving time from IOW. Might be a long day but it will be worth it I reckon.

Southampton???

I thought we were sailing from Portsmouth

Nevermind Southampton is cheaper

(and so is the ferry crossing

)

Jason, can you post the link so we can "all" book

We'll go for 09:30 too then

I don't see a 21.35 return tho

will most likely plump for 20:30...

We can do a quick transplant if the ferry engine breaks down.
