IoW day12: Batteries not included


Typical! best day weather wise and it’s my last day!

Wasn’t sure what to do today, so coming out of the hotel car park I decided to turn left (I always turn right). Followed the road and ended up at Alum Bay, home of the coloured sands.

It’s true it’s not the first (or second) time I’ve been there, but its a very beautiful place looking down to The Needles.

… in the middle of the parade ground, there is a spiral staircase which goes down deep into the chalk cliffs. Follow the 400m tunnel, and you find the searchlight, and possibly the best views of the Needles…
