Not enough interest from Ramblers members to make the walk worthwhile for the CWGC guide and myself.
We are the Isle of Wight Ramblers. We arrange walks, monitor paths and help our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
Commemorate the 110th anniversary of the start of the Great War, 4 Aug 1914, by joining us for a tour of 7 cemeteries around Newport and Cowes, where war graves are tended by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. Our guide will be Gary Newman of the CWGC.
We will be heading up the eastern side of the Medina, crossing the floating bridge, stopping for lunch in Cowes, before heading back down the western side.
New walkers welcome. If you are new to the Ramblers you can just turn up for any of our walks, unless we specify otherwise. We invite you to come along for three walks as a non-member.
Additional Notes
Depending on the weather, consider suitable, clothing, footwear, walking poles, sun cream, drinks, and food. Watch out for ticks and remove ASAP. If you are unsure about your ability to undertake this walk, please contact the walks leader. If you need to leave the walking group, please ensure you inform the leader or back marker.
Please note that there may be short sections of road walking, so please walk in a single file and take good care.
Wise to look at the website on the day just in case of any changes or additional info. And in the event of extreme weather please check back for cancellation notices.
