Isle of Wight–5
Freshwater Bay to Yarmouth – 7th September 2026
A nice hotel last night and I had a reduced breakfast this morning because I'm climbing for most of the first six miles. Turns out that after the initial stomach slopping around that makes me so uncomfortable, things improved. I found myself going up the slope feeling strong, a hint of my heyday and very pleasant with it.
Dull and overcast, occasional rain, 20.
The other night I was appalled at paying three pounds per prawn for a dish with only five prawns in. Today, desperate for lunch, I settled in to enjoy Argentinian prawns in their shell. Three! Three for fucking nineteen pounds. Boy are they taking the piss. Despite that, it was a lovely climb to the Needles above the chalk cliffs.
