We are the Portsmouth Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
Walk from Newport via Garstons to Shorwell, returning via Limerstone Down and Brighstone Forest
Pub and church at Shorwell
Buses from Carisbrooke High Street back to Newport and on to Ryde. Finishing time is at Carisbrooke and is approximate. I hope it will be possible to get back to Ryde by about 1730.
If you need to be back by a specific time you might wish to consider booking on the Hovercraft.
Note the Walk the Wight sponsored walk takes place on the 12th. The proposed route crosses the Walk the Wight route in the morning. It also uses part of the same route but in the opposite direction later in the afternoon. I would imagine that most people aiming to complete Walk the Wight will have passed that section by then.
Meet at Wightlink terminal at the seaward end of Portsmouth Harbour railway station to catch 0915 catamaran to Ryde and 1000 No 9 bus from Ryde Esplanade (stop D) to Newport.
Meet by No 9 bus stop, adjacent to Lord Louis Library
