In 2002 we visited Southampton and the Isle of Wight. The tour started on a Friday night and we had what we would call a “normal weekend” in Southampton, with an extra day on the end where we visited an outdoor centre, with team challenges including Archery, Rope Bridges, Orienteering and Raft Building.
After that, we continued our tradition of visiting islands when we took the ferry from Portsmouth to the Isle of Wight. We stayed for 6 days until the following Sunday. We stayed in churches at Newport, East Cowes and Ryde, performing in Yarmouth, Totland, Cowes, Newport, Ventnor, Shanklin and Ryde.
In and among our busy playing schedule, we also had time to visit some tourist attractions, taking the chairlift down to the beach at the Needles to see the beautiful coloured chalk cliffs.
