We just returned from a pleasant and productive few days on the Isle of Wight. Got some writing done, had some good paddles, did some geocaching, saw Queen Victoria’s deathbed, took some photos.
Unfortunately, our visit was characterised by incompetence and misfortune. Last Saturday we set off early, drove to Lymington, caught the ferry, arrived at our intended launch point, took the boats off, began to get changed … and only then realised that we had left most of our paddling kit at home. Luckily, a friend was able to bring some spare kit to Lymington for us (cheers Steve!) so it only took two more ferry journeys to get organised. The other notable mishap was me slipping on some wet steps beside St Helens beach, and spraining my ankle badly. I don’t seem to have had a lot of luck with my right foot this year.
Second oldest lighthouse, oldest space rocket.
It’s not a space rocket, it’s a Pepperpot …
