Trip 31 -- Isle of Wight Walk

9 to 16 May 2022

This is the ninth of 26 Abecedarian Walks, my endeavor to walk around islands whose names begin with each of the letters of the alphabet.

Each "day" below corresponds to a walking day around the island. "Day 4" includes two days of travel, one of which was part of the round-the-island walk and both of which include group walks as part of a walking festival.

In addition to these verbal accounts are musings, photos, and videos on Twitter.

Prologue
Day 1 West Cowes to Ryde via Newport
Day 2 Ryde to Shanklin
Day 3 Shanklin to Chale
Day 4 Chale to Totland
