The Isle of Wight - One night on the Tennyson Trail

Post by Farawayvisions »

Valentine’s Day. There was no card, flowers or chocolates. Not even breakfast in bed. Instead, I found myself shovelling porridge down my gob at record speed. Both bikes were packed and ready to roll...

Nice post and quite inspirational in a world that often challenges our ability to mix domestic happiness with worthwhile micro adventures. Liked it. Thanks.

Fabulous! I'm off round the IOW in May. Great blog as usual. Only downside is that you've made the waiting harder [emoji6]

Lovely write up. The Isle of Wight is a great place, tho I could be slightly biased - I live there!

Incredible! Said, is a great host. Hope you saw some amazing birds. Perhaps we'll cross paths soon.
