  • In answer to a request from a subscriber I did this run out. A trip on the Isle of Wight along the military road, onto the middle road and then finally the Bowcombe road.

    Legend has it that The Blacksmiths Arms was once the haunt of Smugglers, and Betty was the daughter of one of the smugglers and a buxom barmaid at the pub. She was encouraged by the smugglers to "make up to" the Revenue men who came into the pub, to gather information. She fell for one of the Revenue men and passed the information the wrong way. The smugglers discovered her duplicity and murdered the excise man, and poor Betty was strangled for her treachery, in the lane near the pub, and is said to haunt it. Many older residents knew the pub at "The Betty Haunt".

    I thought the ' Middle Road' was the road that went from Carisbrooke to Afton at Freshwater.

      It is indeed Ron. I was riding from freshwater towards carisbrooke on the middle road. I started however on the military road in order for me to get to freshwater/Afton end from where I live.

    Weather's shaping up just a little bit now isn't it. So although the island isn't large you can get a nice day's ride out there with out doubling back on oneself?

      Yes definitely Simon. Plenty of places to go here and things to do.
      Hope the sound is a better balance now?
      Thanks for your comments and for returning to the channel.
      Paul 👍
