2017-04-30 Isle of Wight Randonnee

i am planning to drive down (trains seem pretty fucked) earlyish sunday and get the 10.15 ferry over (earlier ones sold out)

ride on sunday then chill and camp that night

then come back on the 07.47 first ferry and drive back to london

You can get cheaper parking at gunwharf quays with your ferry ticket. Enquire at the car park office.

Was just gonna park out of the centre and ride the last bit. Will check that out though.

Nice one

In as well, will be on a fixie. Is it sensible to book ferries in advance?

the first few ferries on sunday morning are showing as full - don't know if they save some for walk ups??

I think that they show them as full because of all the walk on's with bikes (Wight Link), though I maybe totally off the mark with that.

thats annoying! they are no longer showing as full... might rebook or just turn up earlier.

EDIT: Actually they are still showing as full. Must have looked at the wrong service

I'm planning on just turning up. Normally you just pile your bike at the front of the ferry, they don't have actual bike parking / bike limit.
