SUNDAY 5th JULY IMOC Isle of White Day out

[Tiny]

works out about £35 on redfunnel for a car and 2 passengers leaving at about 7am coming back about 7pm. on Sunday 5th July.

Leaving from Southampton

Breakfast in cowes.

Then hoon about in Parkhurst forest on some of the best roads

Down to allum bay and the needles.

round the coastal road to blackgang and ventnor before heading down to Sandown to spend the afternoon on the beach/at the zoo/on the peir before heading back round to cowes for a pub tea before heading back on the ferry.

Thought it would be something nice to do and abit different and its not that exspensive.

Outbound Crossing 08:00 arriving at 08:55 £16

Return Crossing 18:30 arriving 19:25 £19

I have the contact details of their group bookings person and have enquired about a group booking discount if we can get a decent number of cars together we may get it cheaper.

Meeting at the Leisure world Car park in southampton next to IKEACLICKYat 07:00 to move down to the Quay at 07:30.

For those that don't want to have the breakfast in Cowes there is a later crossing of 09:00 getting you to Cowes at 10:00 and we can all meet up then.

Whats the entry/exit of the ferrys like for the lower cars?

[Tiny]

We can request Top Deck which is level opposed to upper/lower deck. shouldnt have any problems and they have ramps to aid lift

[cantfindausername]

Sounds good. The missus wants to get over the IOW at some point to see family. Not sure about dates though. Tis a good idea though none the less

Won't that sort of depend on the height of the tide?

[Tiny]

Nope Used to But no more
Check out the google image of the Ferry Ramp CLICKY ME yoll have to drag the pic to the right and up for some reason to see the ramp

you can see the lifting mechanism that raises/lowers the ramp to height of the ferry
The boat-ramp is level and its just the incline on the ramp but its really long so it wont be too sharp for lowered vehicles

same on the Portsmouth side CLICKY ME TOO

[Scott Barton]

I will be up for this. Would be have to be at least July for me though as wont be around for pretty much whole of June.

Keep me posted.

[Munnsy]

im in pretty flexible with dates etc too

Great idea

[Tiny]

Thanks Scott

Ive asked Olly Dent to post this up on the OC and i have ti on the MK1 club site it would be Great to get a huge group together and go and take over the IOW


Olly has suggested for the Psycho and hardcore amongst us Doing a Guildford run before hand down to Southampton

Mad i know but just think how empty the Roads would be

[Tiny]

right Had a reply from the chap and we will get %10 discount and given top deck priority for no extra charge so its £31.50 return through Redfunnel (this only applies to the early ferry not the post breakfast one)


I need a list of people who are definetly interested before 12:00 Wednesday.

[Grendel]

Sounds like a plan count me in.

[turbo]

yea count me in as well

[Splink]

This is a gr8 idea the coast/miltary road is excellent & Ventnor esplanade was the venue 4 a hill climb back in the day + there's a superb bit of tarmac from Sandown 2 Ryde via Bembridge Airport.
Look forward to my 1st IMOC trip & meeting up with everyone count me in

[Tiamat]

Will have to confirm closer to the event, hard for me to plan to comit to anything at the moment. But for all intents and purposes I am up for this. Anyone doing camping overnight?

i would have thought you would prefer cottaging to camping!

[Grendel]

Anymore news on this?

[Tiny]

I hae been waiting for people to message me or put there names down as definite so i could book tickets but no one did. Lots of people saying yeah put my name dow nbut no one actually saying Yes im Definitly in and im not going to pay out for a group booking for 10 cars at about £600 cost to myself and then only get 4 people turn up.

[Grendel]

Totally fair point. Only found out I had the weekend booked off yesterday so couldn’t confirm before.

Would it not be easier to see if they will give us a discount code and then people book there own tickets with the code?
That way your not out of pocket and if people don’t turn up it’s there loss not yours.
