Isle of Wight - Presidents Weekend 28/29/30 August

[MarinaCoupe]

I have just booked into the Channel View Hotel in Shanklin, hang out of dubious types like the MMOC Chairman and others with freaky hair-dos. All the single rooms have gone and so I have booked a double bedded room on a bed and breakfast basis, effectively booking for two.

http://www.channelviewhotel.co.uk/ AA three star.

Is there anyone wanting to go who will be looking for accomodation for the Saturday and Sunday nights, who would interested in sharing the cost of the room - not expensive.

If you are bringing your car, you'll obviously have ferry costs on top, but if your car won't be ready then there would be a spare seat in my car for the weekend, for a share of the petrol if you are interested?

PM me.

How much does a return ticket to isle of Wight cost?

[crashbang]

is it like wales cheper to get off the lsie than on to them

[MarinaCoupe]

A one day return with a car would be under £40, or travelling Saturday morning around 8-9am and coming back Monday about 6pm (which is what I plan to do) will be £66.50 for one or two people.

Thanks. A really stupid question, do you need a passport? I've never needed a passport so don't have one.

When I last checked the Isle of Wight was still in the UK (maybe Frank can confirm), so no, no passport.

[Philip]

I know it's uk, but so is northern ireland and you need a passport to get there?
But ok thanks for confirmation.

[Alan The Exocet]

Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom, therefore you do not need a passport if you are travelling from other parts of the United Kingdom (England, Scotland, Wales)
