Sadly not on this website. I did it clockwise (recommended) on Sunday. We did a couple of detours to take in the needles and the beaches in Sandown. we did 80miles in all, quie a hard workout. link below http://www.iwight.com/living_here/environment/rights_of_way/images/RTI1.pdf |

If you want to buy the OS or Landranger map of the isle you can take that too. Just Choose if you want to go clockwise around (recommended) or anti. then trace the route and get to know the order of the towns on the route. We got a bit lost in Newport as my copy of the map blew away on an ascent towards Freshwater but with a bit of common sense and road signs we got back on track and found the route between Porchfield and Gurnard. If you want to stay in one B+B for the full stay and cycle back to it at the end of each day you may need to have a car drop you off at the various start points. There is a dedicated cycle path (old railway) that goes almost through the middle (Shanklin to Newport if you want to cut corners). Hope that helps. |
