Overview

This walk is part of the IOW Ramblers Festival Day. It is part of a day which, among other things has at least three walks, with people meeting up later. 

Start time 10.30 am from Newport bus terminal stand A.  We will travel five miles, first going along the Medina, then turning inland from the Folly restaurant and going to Jubilee park in York Road where there will be a picnic.  Some lanes and pavement walking.

Please bring snack and drink for a short stop at the marina. There are toilets at the start. The tidal water after the marina can seep over the grass ahead. Please wear suitable footwear for muddy areas.  Return buses go from Cowes (number 5) Adelaide Grove to Newport and (number 4) York Road to Ryde.
