Excellent viewing. Thanks Jack!

Another interesting video Jack, thanks for sharing. The station where I used to live is a fair walk up hill to the village but I don’t think they were originally going to have one but a local landowner would only allow the railway to go through his land if they built a station together with a private entrance near his house. 💙🧶🌈🍓

Good evening Jack, you make an interesting comment about station's being some distance from a town or village. Micheldever station is about 5 kilometre's from the village its self. A long walk on a wet night, I hope my conversion is correct. Regarded. Andrew.

Fascinating, the first I've ever heard about this line.

Nice one Jack, how about a video on the proposed Shanklin and Chale Railway? My model layout is inspired by this.

Excellent film ! We’ve just moved here and our house literally backs on to Golden Hill Country Park! by a stroke of serendipity your first walk was almost in our back garden! Agreed you get some great views from the fort. Your walk was so inspiring my wife has actually hunted down a copy of the same book and we will following closely in your footsteps….. as long as it’s not toooooo steep ! Don’t worry you’re not being stalked 😱 All the best, Richard

Fantastic content from you again Jack. Looking forward to the next episode.

Thanks for this video, great fun. I’m surprised you didn’t stop for a pint in the Red Lion. I have a copy of the revised edition of 12 favourite walks which was published in 2017, I hope that doesn’t mean you will encounter problems in the future! Will you be following them in order? 🧶🌈🍓💙

Another great video Jack, every time we visited the island a trip to the model railway at Fort Victoria was treat for me and the children. If I remember correctly there was also a model railway in Cowes.

Woo hoo! Another wightwanderer series 😁😁. Thank you. Those glasses are fabulous - don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. It’s a yes from me for the tramway video, please 👍

Newtown creek was so well regarded for its Oysters that Queen Victoria would only eat oysters which came from Newtown. The village economy was ran on oysters beds which are still visible limited at high tide but more so at low tide. In the late 70s a barn appeared in Bluebell woods and who traded on this Victoria link, however consumers soon got this gist and the company faltered. Not quite Newtown, but in Shalfleet creek there is a Messerschmitt which crashed after taking Ack Ack from Lepe beach. As children we dug out the pilots boots. No bones though. Thank you crabs.

Hi Jack, beautiful walk, stayed at Norton Grange. Warner Hotel, back in August, did walk part of that path. Never got to Fort Victoria though! Views over the Solent are breathtaking!

Great video Jack, we've also just watched your video on St Catherines Down. Noticed your walking guide was printed the year Trinity House stopped using the fog horn at St Catherine's Lighthouse (there's a video on RUclips of its' last few soundings.

really interesting, thank you. And great that you can still do this walk, I hope the other walks are also still accessible. Looking forward to December - and yes please, a vid on the tram would be fab! how many tramways were there on the Island, do you know? i only know of the Ryde Pier one (which sadly I'm so old I remember riding on - just!)

Hello. This was a very informative film, I have watched all your past vlogs, most interesting.

Cant wait for the next one Jack Like the variety of vids on this channel mate

Good evening Jack, looking forward to the new series of walks. Looking at my old photographs, I have a picture of No 24 (Southern) with a floral tribute placed on the front of it. The photograph is about 20 years old, would you like a copy for your records? Regards. Andrew.

And she will be well looked after at the NLR

🧶🌈🍓💙

Many thanks Jack, alway good to see. Both have a good weekend. Regards. Andrew.

Yes Jack, you're crushing it!

What a great video! I really enjoyed watching you travel on as many buses as possible. As a somewhat older guy, I would have chosen to go for as many older vehicles as I could. (That's not meant as a criticism by the way!) My favourites were always the Lodekkas, like the Bristol FS (the FLF has a front entrance) you rode on back from Brading at one moment. It reminded me of being a kid at my grandparents in Totland and traveling on the front seat facing backward, generally kneeling on the seat in order to peer at what the driver was doing.

Great videos guys, I really enjoyed them, glad you had a lovely holiday, we just got back from a week in Cornwall first holiday in years😊

What a lovely trip thanks for sharing. 🧶🌈🍓💙

It’s been great to follow you on your holidays. Thanks for sharing with us.

Hi Jack& Elenore, you have seen some places on your trip. Lake District is another favourite of mine.,Lake Windermere., stunning! Would also recommend Wales & Ireland . Your videos are just superb & enjoyable to watch.

Lovely views and steam trains too. Reminds me of somewhere 🤔

It looks as if you had an interesting and enjoyable holiday! Thanks for sharing it. You clearly take an interest in the places you visit beyond just gawping at them. Nice to see. 🙂

Well done. Another interesting and informative film. Thank you.

Another great video, many thanks to both of you for taking us on your holiday with you. So much information in 23 minutes. Have you been to the Watercress Line? Best Wishes. Andrew.

Reopening the line to Ventnor would be an excellent idea. Importantly reducing cars in the area

Wonderful. Looking forward to walking some of these former rail lines in 2025

Doing this or a road tunnel under Bonchurch Down was evaluated before Leeson Rd subsided. Boring holes and monitoring is not a long term solution. The IoW council has a £5m deficit but needs to do another railway evaluation and publish the result. Battery option for the trains and extensive 2024 Island Line work since the last evaluation.

I often think the Isle of Wight would be an ideal place to have a tram network using the old rail lines. A compact island with several towns that you could travel around by tram. It would mean holiday makers and day tourists could leave the car at home, freeing up the Island roads. Alas I am sure it will never happen. Maximising the old trackbed as cycle paths seems obvious though .

Great video thanks for sharing. You might see some reds in the Lakes. 🧶🌈🍓💙

Really enjoyed that journey, beautiful scenery and very well edited. thank you

Thank you again for a fantastic video

Hi Jack & Elenore, another great video, agh Highlands of Scotland stunning aren’t they,,been many times. & the hairy coos (cows) too. You’ve seen a lot of places on your trip.did you see Nessie ( Loch Ness monster 😂!?
