Funny seeing you at Eastney. We are there often as we like that stretch of beach and my wife loves paddle boarding either on the main beach round the corner or from the boat club near where you parked. It’s the cost of the crossing that has put us off doing the Isle Of Wight because for roughly the same price France wins every time! We’ve been there on the pedestrian ferry, and my lorry driving took me there, but I’m looking forward to your videos in place of a trip!

Born and bred on the Island, remember the hovercraft accident, an SRN 6 hovercraft, operated by Hovertravel Limited, overturned at the end of a journey from Ryde to Southsea when half a mile south-west of Clarence Pier. on Saturday, 4th March, 1972; 26 persons, including the captain, were aboard the craft, and four lives were lost. This was the first hovercraft casualty in passenger service in the United Kingdom involving loss of life. glad you enjoyed you visit

Sadly over the years I have found people recommend a place and it doesn't come up to expectations, some years back myself and a group of colleges were in Dover we stopped in one of the companies stores asked where to get sandwiches told an address well the local rats liked it. A good fish and chip shop cooks the fish to order if greasy the oil needs changing, I've got the best quality control in my cat if fish good eats straight away if not turns her nose up and walks away both cats traveled with my late mother and myself in large cage.

Great vlog, that ferry service at £30+ per mile is pricey. There is a large Hovercraft museum sited near to the seaplane slipway in Lee on the Solent; one of the large cross channel hovercraft, amongst several other examples, is sited there. I live a couple of miles away in the town Gosport, an old military town, both Army and Royal Navy had establishments here. Two of the Palmerston Solent forts are up currently for sale and Fort Gilkicker , on the shore at Gosport, is being sympathetically remodelled into luxury apartments.

Ahhh my favourite,family retreat! loads can recommend on the Freshwater/Yarmouth side. In Yarmouth there is a lovely place to have breakfast/Lunch and enjoy a fabulous walk along the estuary where the river Yar is and that’s Off The Rails. Even their menus are in the style of old newspapers and the building is the old railway station. For an evening meal and for somewhere to park up and watch the sea - but do have to pay for parking is in Totland - The Water Front. There is also the Red Lion in Freshwater. If you drive just past the pub and down the lane it takes you to the causeway where you can walk into Yarmouth and it brings you by Off The Rails. How long do you plan on staying on the Island both? you will have a wonderful time there.

We are not publishing that park up because it is used by full-time vanlifers and we don’t want to spoil it for them. Hope you understand.

Fish and chips didn't look great, not a patch on the Magpie in Whitby, I did cross to France on the Hovercraft in 1980, it was called a flight, but it was great.

My memory of the hovercraft was a bumpy flight and feeling a bit seasick 😅

I'm intrigued and some might say nosey. At around 7.07 does anyone know what that building is above the ship with what appears to be columns. Is it all part of the same complex with the big house which has scaffolding around it?

We currently just use our mobile phones. I have an unlimited contract with EE and Carol has 3. So far we have managed without a router and aerial on the roof. Will see how we go in the new van.

Most of it is shot on iPhone 14 Pro Max. I have Osmo 3 which I was quite disappointed with. I am going to wait 6 months before going for the Osmo 4. 👍

It’s just a shame that Wightlink charge so much, nearly £200 return for a 45 minute journey! It put people off.

I’ve been looking forward to this series ever since you said you were coming over, I was hoping to bump into you but if we were ever in the same place it was always a day apart 😂. We have only recently become residents so I look forward to seeing where you visited to get some ideas. 🍓🧶🌈💙
