🟠🚶🏻 Day Trip & Hike: The Isle of Wight Adventure Trip! 🚆🛳️🚉

Where the journey is the Adventure!

From the heart of London to the Isle of Wight and back in a single day - by public transport, with 3 trains and 2 ferries! A coastal hike on an island famed for being one of the sunniest corners of the UK, and for its rich deposits of dinosaur fossils.

⚠️ NOTE: This event is only open to known/selected attendees that are flexible and understand the risks with such a tightly scheduled trip. There is always a chance of delays or missing a connection and being stranded on an Island! But you’ll survive on this one! Please initially add yourself to the waitlist.

We'll be taking a limited number of people on this trip!
