Where the journey is the Adventure!

This time we explore the South of the Island and in seach on those beaches! From the heart of London to the Isle of Wight and back in a single day - by public transport, with 4 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! Please initially add yourself to the waitlist.

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