      Freddie, surprised you didn’t get to visit The Needles lighthouse at alum bay which was only a mile or so from Totland where you stayed. The chairlift down to the beach is pretty unique along with the coloured sands on the cliffs. I now live in Weymouth, Dorset and the views from Abbotsbury hill and Portland heights are magnificent on a clear day. I strongly recommend you take visit if you’ve not been before.

Me and my family, along with all of my husbands family live here on the isle of wight and u captured some truelly beautiful gems of our island. When u return be sure to visit Shanklin chine on a sunny day and then re-visit at night to see it all lit up in multicolour. Explore devils chimney and steephill cove, along with (a must on a hot day for that tropical feel) Priory bay. So glad u fell in love with our beautiful island on ur visit and look forward to seeing an update of any returns you make in the future! Happy travels!

    Fabulous film again. If you want another adventure get over to Kerry in SW Ireland and do the Wild Atlantic Way. Give yourselves 5 days. The travel days are easy enough - just London to Fishguard in Wales for the ferry, then a short hop cross country in Ireland to get started. It's not too expensive and the roads are gorgeous and empty during the day. With your filming you'll capture it in ways most people fail to do.

    Isle of Wighter here, so nice that you had a good time. It really is a lovely place - you went past my house! I also worked at Appuldurcombe house, it is seriously haunted, sometimes at night you can hear music playing even though there is no electricity.

      @@FreddieDobbs It is, but nothing terrible has happened to be honest, and I've stayed at several hauneted places and seen weird stuff. Just spooky stuff. There was a ghost hunting TV series with a bonkers man who went to Appuldurcombe House and claimed to see the spirits of loads of virgins that were sacrificed there. Umm. where did he get them from? Even now Wroxall, Ventor and Godshill are pretty small.... But then he was discredited and well no-one here took it at all seriously.

    Absolutely agree with you about the Isle of Wight, went there last year on a motorbike. I would highly recommend the Isle of Man. Great roads, full of myths and legends, and great food.

    Another Island dweller here. Nice to hear your impressions. I’m a biker too and have just got back from a brilliant trip to mid Wales for a week. To all fellow bikers, I can’t recommend highly enough going to explore that region. What fantastic roads and scenery. Devil’s Bridge and the ‘Two Hoots’ cafe are a great place to experience (loved by bikers)

    Have you thought of doing a vlog of a roaf trip round Jersey or Guernsey? Added bonus - the ferry trip will be a lot longer than 40 mins! Similat to I of Wight but different enough. Wrap up well for the journey from London and avoid hypothermia. Great bikes Triumph - love the engine note. Really enjoyed the trip round the IoW part 1 so am on P2 now.

    Saw this because of IOW as my family and I are all going there in August. I think what people should know the water from the mainland to the island is the most expensive bit of water anywhere in the world. I am 67 and disabled for me and my car in August return journey was just under £200 for the ferry. By the time we added on my families cars it was just under £700 for three cars just to cross over to the island. None of us have ever been to the IOW but are really looking forward to it as it will be my first holiday since I fractured my spine in 2008. It was a lovely video and just to let you know the cottage we have rented for the week for the 8 of us is also thatched.

    • @MeTube3
      @MeTube3 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Most accommodation providers on the Isle of Wight include the crossing in the price or they book your ferry using their trade price access. I’ve never paid anything near £200, most ever was £135 return for car and four people when I had to travel at peak time. So less than £35 per passenger.

      @@MeTube3 I am not certain but we rented through Sykes Cottages and believe the property is owned by The National Trust; well the cottage is in the middle of the land they own. It has managers who live on site some reviewers call them the owner some say the NT but until we get there I don’t know. I cannot understand why a bridge or tunnel has never been built because the Ferry owners certainly have the monopoly on prices especially during the height of the holiday season. I honestly think because of Covid they have definitely hiked up their prices compared to last year when we were suppose to go on this holiday. We had to hold it over to this year because of Iockdown. I remember looking at the prices last year and for me and my car in August was around £130 return. I was absolutely staggered at the prices for this year. The cottage for a week for 8 is £3,000 plus the ferry charges it is going to make it a very expensive holiday. Nevertheless we are all looking forward to it and all the videos and books I have read it sounds the perfect place for me to take all my family on. Especially my three grandchildren as this will be their first holiday.
