why can’t you get a copy of the route from this web site, you suggest training by doing part of it, but how do we know ???????????
EMH Funding
There are parts of the route where we go across private land so we try not to encourage walkers. I will email you a route but if you could be aware of this.

We have recently been visiting relatives on the Island and enjoyed some wonderful walks. After hearing about ‘Walking the Wight’ we would love to take part. However is the walk always on Sundays as it is almost impossible for us to get back home for Monday morning and work?! (As I am a teacher in a ptimary school I can’t ask for time off and I am therefore not popular with the group of friends we walk with)If it is on Saturday next year we can plan ahead……?!
EMH Fundraising
Hi Gwen
Yes the walk has always been on a Sunday, next year its Sunday 17th May 2009, hope you can make it

I hope Carisbrooke will be better organised for those that have walked from Bembridge and are doing the full walk - last year was a nightmare - no signs and check point away from carry on path. You only seemed interested in those that were starting from Carisbrooke
EMH Fundraising
Hi Wendy
I’m sorry you felt there was a lack of signs at the Carisbrooke Check Point. We have more marshals this year and a town crier! Also last year the weather didnt help. All our walkers are important to us how ever far they walk.
The most important thing is that we are raising money for our patients, thank you for walking for us
