Story

Yep we're at it again but this time it's 108 miles in 6 days around the Isle of Wight.

 

We have chosen 108 miles to commemorate the 108 brave souls that were lost in Afghanistan in 2009. Lest we forget.

 

Starting on 23rd May in Yarmouth, we are walking around the island (67 miles) and a few strolls inland to make it up to the ton. We've decided to have a rest day in the middle and run a fun day at the campsite for people to come and play some games and help us raise even more money.

 

Day 1 will be from Yarmouth to East Cowes via the West Cowes and the Chain Ferry, Day 2 from East Cowes to Ryde for a party on the beach, Day 3 from Ryde to Shanklin.

 

Watch this space for more details and the rest of the routes.
