| Parked in Wroxhall and walked via Appuldurcombe house - included a trip to the Worsley monument | Buck | 10/07/2023 |
| Continued walk after Whitwell Hill via Fishing Lake and Week La to HP. Perhaps the nicest hill of our holiday, with views from Bembridge Down to Tennyson Down (for us, the best on the IOW) and a circular walk, returning via Nettlecombe. With Pete, sunny day, but his car had given up and had to be towed away! | pwheeler | 13/06/2023 |
