Isle of Wight Scooter Rally 2011

It's a bank holiday (and everyone in the world is hungover because it appears "bank holiday" means you should drink twice the usual amount, but not for super humans like myself who don't drink at all) so I needed something to do to stop me loafing on the sofa all day wasting this long weekend.

I live only a few miles across the sea from the Isle of Wight and it's the annual Scooter Rally this weekend. So I hopped on to the ferry and took my camera for a walk in the sun.  First off a nice stroll along the Ryde sea front. (Click on any image to enlarge).


Then on to the scooter rally. There was SO many parked up along the sea wall. If I had the stamina (and sun cream) I would have stayed all day to see the mass ride-out where everyone sets out for the island trek at the end of the day.












And on the way back on the ferry I decided to take a few pictures of Old Portsmouth and the Spinnaker Tower. It's always lovely to see these places from a different angle, and one day I'd love to be able to live in that part of the city.
