Back in June we walked up one side of the river Medina from Newport to Cowes and half way back again. We couldn't get any further because the footpath was closed whilst they cleaned up after the Isle of Wight Festival. Andrew ended up not being able to walk properly for weeks so today was the first chance we've had to finish the walk :O) Elena came with us and we had a great time :O) What a Bank Holiday weekend, lovely & warm, sun shinning, just glorious! This is another of Paul's wood carvings and sits on the river bank at the start of the trail. 
We walked towards the town through the industrial estate where the boatyards are. Some one decided their boatyard needed a lighthouse ~ lol :O) 
Past the back of the Quay Art Centre and along the road. 
Over the road bridge and up the otherside where we could see the front of the Quay Arts. 
Loads of people were out on their boats. 
We carried on walking by the side of the river until we reached the Folly Inn. 
We had lunch and a drink (shandy). 
We walked back with full tummys :O) 
Elena took over as photographer for a while :O) 
There are loads of little bridges over the tributaries of the river. 
Love swans, don't you :O) 
Elena did really well considering the distance we walked. 
Elena found a hollow tree to hide in. 
And a rope swing :O) 
Before we knew it we could see the start of our walk on the otherside of the river. 
Wasn't long before we were back in the town were Elena tried everything she could think of to make us laugh ~ lol! 
We crossed over the road bridge and walked back through the boatyards. Our legs were aching a bit so I asked Andrew if there was a quicker way to get back to the Nissan. Elena said yes, there is. We both looked at her in amazement and asked her how. Her reply ... take bigger steps!!! ROFLMAO!

Just couldn't believe the amount of fruit & nuts & seeds there was :O)
