is that for advice on what to do ?
or what you should actually do on the IOW ?
:laugh: :grin: :laugh: :tongue:

Robin Hill, Blackgang Chine, Sandown Zoo off the top of my head..

Do you like walking? Head out to the West Wight, park up at Alum Bay (you can park up before the official car park, where you have to pay) and walk out to the Needles Old Battery. You can walk around the south side of the hill, where the rocket testing site was, then you can walk up on the hill (known as a Down). Keep walking along and you'll get to Tennyson's Monument, which has some stunning views.
Coast on Cowes High Street will give you a good lunch, or if you want to push the boat out go to the Pond Cafe in Bonchurch.
Are you just over for a day trip, or what?
-
Some good idea's there
We are over Monday to Friday
and don't worry, i will have a stick incase i do need to poke someone :laugh:

If you're in Northwood £10 says my cars need washing significantly more than his.
Unmade road + no rain for months = cars that look like sh*t.

I'll be based in shanklin, so neither of your cars will get washed :grin:

Godshill is a nice place to look around, all old building, there is a model village and the old smithy.
Robin hill is a good place to go for the kids.
Calbourne water mill is nice, they have a little cafe there and give tours around the mill showing how it all works.
Shanklin Chine is a very nice place to walk through.
Ventnor down is a good place to get some good views, park up at the top and have a picnic, just make sure it's a clear day.
Carisbrooke Castle.
The iow Steam Railway.
Butterfly & Fountain World.
Isle of Wight Donkey Sanctuary.
St. Catherines Lighthouse.
There is loads to do.

The last time I went to Blackgang Chine the cliff edge was gone so was some of the park I was like 12 so been a few decades or so :lipsrsealed:
There was a cool glass making factory that you could fill coloured sand still have my tiger full of sand when I was a nipper!
Even had met a nice looking lass there :cool:

That's Alum Bay, not Blackgang.
