Isle of Wight

[Jack_]

Bit of a random topic, but I will find it quite interesting. :)

Has anybody ever been to the Isle of Wight?

I'm just wondering because I live here, and I think most people don't even know it exists. Anybody who lives in Portsmouth or Southampton or anywhere around those areas would probably know about it.

[Lauren]

I think most people know it exists - but just haven't visited.

I am one of them :spin:

[Sarah.]

Yep I've been there.
I didn't really enjoy it though.. =/ lol. It's quite beautiful though.

[Bells]

I think I went once when I was little, but can't remember a thing so I might as well have not gone. I don't know much about the place - didn't even know it was beautiful. It sounds interesting... I might go at one point. And throw in a visit to Guernsey while I'm at it.

I've been there 6 TIMES!!! We used to go there all the time, it was ok but I got v bored of it by the 3rd time.
Most people do know it exists.

[MarkWaldorf]

I went there on a school trip in year 6 for about a week.
It was soo much fun, I didn't want to leave.

Yeah I can see what you mean about getting bored after a few times, and I think you're probably right about most people knowing it exists. :tongue: It's probably just me.

Oooh, if you don't mind me asking where did you stay?

I went on a trip also in year 6 for a week and camped in a field, so I'm wondering whether you stayed anywhere similar.

[Xander]

Never been, would like to go but why bother when I have Glastonbury Festival at my doorstep. :wink:

[Conor]

I'm probably gonna sound so dumb :P But I've never heard of it. *Shame* Where is it near?

Yeah your right, Glastonbury is no doubt much better than the Isle of Wight festival. :tongue:

I've never actually been to the festival anyway, but it's just this weekend finished.

Thanks for the replies so far. :bigsmile:

[Shaun]

Never been.

Not a fan of travelling around Britain other than to major cities / the seaside. And I live by the seaside :tongue:

[sol]

I've never been but I know a few people who live there. I'm sure I'll venture there one day.
I've seen it when I went up the Spinnaker Tower in Portsmouth.

Keep the replies coming, thanks for all of them so far. :spin:

Umm, I think it may have been called Little Canada?
