Muddy Marge

Hulverston, Isle of Wight

We arrived in good time at Lymington, for our sailing to the island. The wind singing through the rigging of the nearby sailing boats, the air filled with dozens of musical notes. 

A banner on a nearby wall, advertised the islands garlic farm, a place we must remember to visit, as we have had a special request from home to bring a bulb back.

The ferry crossing was quite uneventful, considering the wind. We were a little concerned though, when the announcement over the tannoy for 'all drivers to return to their vehicles', was followed by 'and all foot passengers disembark over the side!'.

Despite the wind, we were able to take a walk around the medieval town of Yarmouth, taking advantage of our inner child to enjoy some of the attractions.

The stop for the night, The Sun Inn at Hulverstone. The village is set back off the Military Road, which runs along the south of the island. Some challenging driving to get here, as the village roads are very narrow, but well worth it for a pretty thatched pub, with views to the coast and behind over the rolling countryside.

A couple of drinks in the warmth of the friendly pub, then back to Marge, for a tasty evening meal of pesto pasta, with chorizo, peppers, courgettes, olives and tomatoes. We love this campervan life!
