Continuing the transport theme, I thought I’d post a couple of photos related to a recent cycling trip from Newport to Godshill (and back) via the Shide-Sandown cycle path and the Sunshine Trail. We’d originally planned to cycle all the way to Sandown, part of a get fit campaign. Mrs Wighteye is ruled by her stomach and decided to divert to The Taverners to sample Roger Sarjent’s gastro menu. The Sunshine Trail is delightful between Merstone and Godshill with lush meadows and free range pigs. The latter feature on the menu! The interaction between pigs and rooks in competition for food is an interesting one and a delight to watch. Despite my expectation, the return trip seemed easier after a leisurely lunch. A place to be recommended.
That meadow on the Sunshine Trail looks fantastic. I must point my bike in that direction sometime.
Well worth it, Rambling Rob, don’t forget your camera.
