THANKS TO...

Props to the Isle of Wight tourist board () for helping us make this trip happen. We used Red Funnel Ferries to get across from the mainland ().Theyoperate to and from Southampton nearly every hour of the day, while other providers run services from Portsmouth and Lymington. We stayed at Camp Wight, a sustainably-focused campsite 15 minutes from the bike centre. You can overnight in one of their super-cool geodesic domes, like us, or the secluded woodland site has plenty of space for you to bring your campervan or tent ().
