I lived on the IOW from the age of four to 10 when we moved to Southhampton. I lived in West Cowes, Gurnard, Ryde and Sandown. Sun, sea,sand(the BEST beaches) and great hills to soapbox down - not to mention the few odd bomb craters from before my time! For a child, idyllic. I was last there for the 1970 Rock Concert: Jimi Hendrix' last performance - and the weather could have been better! Thanks for the memory jogs - I'm thinking Osbourne and Carisbrooke Castle.

I live in North East Hampshire and next year we look forward to a visit from my cousin in Texas. The big question at times such as this is "Where shall I take my cousin to explore?" Our journey will now take us from Winchester Cathedral to HMS Victory at Portsmouth, where we can then board a ferry for the lovely Isle of Wight. Thank you for your great article.
