Such fantastic scenery. And it's Wintertime too, in Summer it must be glorious!
I can see that will be the next road to close. Every week I go along it, it seems to be a bit worse. Hair raising on the top of a bus.
What are you driving sounds a bit of a beast? Land-rover?
Correct, all our drives are taken from a Land Rover Defender unless stated otherwise in the video description.
Lived on the island for 73 years and that’s Morrisons to lake to Apse heath turn left to go Godshill , via the Shanklin turn , done it thousands of times 😊👍
Hope you enjoyed revisiting the drive in our video!
I really enjoy this series having been born and brought up on the Island and visited most years until 2019. The highways I recognise easily, but some of the byways are new to me. I wonder if it is possible to add a caption on the screen when some of these remote areas are covered. I download the files to watch on my television and cannot easily access the descriptions you provide. I did admire your driving skills negotiating that awful lane to Atherfield. Thank you for your splendid efforts.
Great to hear you've been enjoying our videos! Thanks for the feedback, we'll definitely consider how to make this happen in the future.
The biggest two threats to bikers on the island are old people driving and pheasants!
I have only just found your posts, I rather like them, but I do have one criticism. When you do your,' chasing the sun', posts, coild you actually drive to somewhere, you/we can actually see the sun going down over the ocean or land! But apart from that quibble, it reminds me of my brother and I cycling around the Isle of Wight in the late nineties!😊
Great to hear you've enjoyed our videos and thank you for the feedback, sounds like you have some great memories!
They still have not completed work on that pedestrian path near the bridge in Lake.
After checking the Island Roads website, it looks like these works are set to continue until 20th September.
My favourite place
Great to hear you enjoyed this drive!
The charm of the place is destroyed by that horrible motor vehicle sound.
Simply mute the car sound & play your own choice of charming music.🙂
@@StevenRawlings-g5i I'd rather hear the natural sound of the Isle of Wight.........I play my 'charming' music all the time 🙂
@@nicholasmorrill4711 Natural sounds are not exclusive to the I.O.W. they can be heard, recorded or obtained from all around the UK coastline & countryside. If you struggle to obtain or find these recordings perhaps you could record your own & then simply play & overlay along with the video. Good luck!
@@StevenRawlings-g5i A more sencitively produced video in the first place might have been a better advert for the Isle of Wight.Maybe you should have turned the sound off? It spoilt a wonderful sunset experience.
@@nicholasmorrill4711 I did mute the volume. That is why I'm not criticising the sound. Have you made a better video in your opinion that you can share with us then?
Love this bit of road. A beautiful section of a beautiful island. I grew up in Ventnor, but have lived on the mainland for years now. Enjoy your videos immensely. Thanks for posting them.
Great to hear, glad you've been enjoying!
Lovely video, I lived in Ryde when I was 10 yrs old & remember roller skating on Ryde Pier with my dear Dad, lovely memories, I'm 77 yrs old now! Thank you 😀
Sounds like some great memories were had, great to hear you enjoyed the drive!
I didn’t think that they had much traffic on the IOW. I thought that it was tractors and bikes.
A route l know feel and great drive along there nice place Yarmouth and Norton as well
Absolutely, it's great to hear you enjoyed this drive!
Great drive along and enjoyed it very nice scenery as well
Glad you enjoyed it!
Millitary road spectacular views breathtaking

Glad to hear you enjoyed our drive to Yarmouth!
Great scenery and great drive and recognise some of the places in this clip
Great to hear you enjoyed the drive and scenery!
Very nice drive and great views
Great to hear you enjoyed the drive and views!
It is a bit of a waste of time for me to watch this video as without a commentary I have no idea of where you are other than on the Isle of Wight.
Check out the video descriptions for additional information on our drives, such as road names, villages, and towns featured in the footage.
Is the car a Land Rover by any chance? I will be visiting the Island in late August with my family staying in shanklin i cannot wait
Yes, all our drives are taken from a Land Rover Defender unless stated otherwise. Hope you have a great time on the Island in August!
Lovely
Great to hear you enjoyed the video!
Stunning scenery great views and great drive and loved it
Great to hear that you enjoyed the drive and scenery!
Great video, thank you I got lost a bit at the beginning because I thought you were going through Lower Hyde towards Ventnor which didn't make sense. Then you came out opposite Shanklin railway station and I knew where you were!
Great to hear that you enjoyed it!
terrible quality video
We've recently been focusing on enhancing the quality and improving our video exporting process, so you can look forward to a better quality in our future videos.
Nice drive. The few times i've used the Coppins roundabout i've somehow at some stage gotten into the wrong lane : ) I like to see these smaller roads, lanes etc. And the island on miserable weather days....all adds to the aura of the place!
It's great to hear you enjoyed this drive! We'll definitely continue to include trips in all kinds of weather.
Tried to work out the route you took without reading the above : ) Ah well, it pleases me anyway : ))
Great to hear you enjoyed the video!
Leeson Road from shanklin to ventnor is now open till the 8 sept
Well, i for one like these kinda driving videos. I love the IoW, especially Ventnor and vicinity, and more so the areas that a lot of times aren't covered. I stay with friends in Upper Ventnor, and always like to see it, even if it's a drive by, lol.
Glad to hear you enjoy them!
Great scenery and great views around and great drive
Great to hear you enjoyed it
What vehicle is this?
All drives are in a Land Rover Defender unless stated otherwise in the video description

Not yet, but will add it to the list of ideas for future routes!

Fantastic Journey Marc! Great Video as always!👌😁
Thanks a lot, great to hear you enjoyed the video and drive!
Very nice but the video quality is awful. Suggest you invest in a much better camera (and film at a higher frame rate)
Great to hear that you enjoyed the video! We've been focusing on enhancing the quality and improving our video exporting process, so you can look forward to a better quality in our future videos.
Thank you so much ❤

Which route is the bus taking between Shanlin and Ventnor then?
the number 3 bus was going through wroxall to ventnor then back through wroxall
Beautiful green and pleasant land. Lovely drive. Thank you....❤❤❤
What vehicle are you using.
All routes are taken from a Land Rover Defender unless stated otherwise.
Really enjoyed this video. Many drivers are very inconsiderate towards you in not giving way. See it a lot on the normal buses, annoying.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you so much, that was amazing, Beautiful scenery 💯💯🌞🌞
Glad you enjoyed it!
Sounds like one of the Southern Vectis open top buses.
Just a bit of surface water there.Thanks for being mindful of the wildlife.Enjoyed that one.Thank s
