Cowes From The Waterfront - The Isle of Wight

[@MrNas42]

I could watch these IOW videos all day. Liz is a simply wonderful guide. You ordered up fabulous weather and even a fly past! Now that would be a B.E. fundraiser - sending you up in a Spitfire! Maybe an idea for your next big birthday..?

[@RichardVobes]

Thanks so much for your kind words Nigel!

[@heidipeters7174]

Grew up in Cowes! Nice to see familiar spots! And yes the cannons do fire to set off major races! Used to be a member of the Island sailing club and learnt to sail there! Liz looks very familiar! Might have been a customer of my father who had a business in Cowes high street!

[@alanlake5220]

Love Cowes, always something going on .

[@SuperModwolf]

Love the isle of wight been so many times the best views of the island are st Catherine's oratory Tennyson down cross and culver down awesome place xxxx

Re Cowes/West Cowes - the town was officially West Cowes until 1895 when the then West Cowes Urban District Council applied for and received permission to change the official name of the town to 'Cowes'.

I might go to the Isle of Wight next summer is beautiful !!!!!!!

[@RichardVobes]

Worth a trip!

[@achristian2433]

Yes the canons do fire we enjoyed them yesterday as part of the King's Cup. Lets have more of the IOW with Liz please

[@RichardVobes]

Oh fantastic!

[@mickymantle3233]

Lovely place Richard & Liz. Thankyou. Sting Spiders family has a connection to the Isle of Wight as his Uncle Archie is the only spider to have escaped from Parkhurst.

[@RichardVobes]

Well done Archie for escaping!

[@kennethgoodman2457]

Lovely Liz showing her lovely island. I remember Cowes very well.been there for Cowes week many times and also the flying boats, one very large one which I think was owned by someone famous but can’t recall the name. Have to say that Cowes looks even better than when I last went there.

[@RichardVobes]

It is great to know that it looks better than before. Often it is the reverse.

[@annosborne7365]

Just a brilliant video, thank you Richard and Liz.

[@RichardVobes]

We sure had fun making it! Thanks Ann!

[@thewilliamsfamilyest]

We always holiday nr cowes actually thorness bay such a wonderfully beautiful place and never overly busy I love how the isle of wight is layed back and not overpopulated.

[@RichardVobes]

Thanks for watching Kerry. I bet you have some smashing holidays.

[@oliverjh1281]

Excellent as usual Richard Liz is absolutely smashing what a superb guide she is more with her please 👍

[@RichardVobes]

I will twist her arm to take me back! :)

[@ramibu239]

And what a gorgeous May day🌞 (mean while I have torrential downpours🌧😫) - wish I could joined you & Liz! Thanks for letting me vicarisiosly through you!😁⛵🏰🇬🇧

[@lindakane7771]

What a glorious day, sea looks amazing. The Royal Yacht Squadron starting cannons I think

[@RichardVobes]

Ah yes. Thanks Linda!

[@danielsedgwick5476]

Well done Liz, just loved these series of videos on the Isle of Wight. :)

[@RichardVobes]

Yes, they were great!

[@susanolson3611]

Thanks for sharing this fascinating island. 🙂

[@RichardVobes]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@georgetimperley8906]

That place looks interesting, especially if you like boating! I diddnt know where the hovercraft was develloped and now I do! Well done you 2 great video 👍

[@RichardVobes]

I was rather luck to get the shots of the hovercrafts as they raced across the Solent. So I am chuffed myself!

[@Duffy512]

Very interesting historical location.

[@RichardVobes]

It sure is! :)

[@vestafairie]

i had thought you miss-spelled "cows" and that you found a safe place to get over your fear of cows.... thank you, Liz! what a wonderful tour!!! thank you, Richard! you really get around!!!

[@RichardVobes]

Cowes is an actual place! ;)

[@MrGreatplum]

Another excellent walk - you were so lucky with the weather. Interesting to see the hovercraft hanger - it’s a shame that technology has never really advanced - I was lucky to go on a cross channel one before they stopped running but they are very noisy!

[@RichardVobes]

I bet they are noisy. (Our Greensand Way walks are up next!)

[@graemeoatley3972]

all the cannons fire and thay are real

[@RichardVobes]

Are they? How fabulous!

[@barrystevens2699]

Lovely weather and another great video. The IOW is apart of Hampshire. Many don't know that. It's odd when we holiday on the Island still being in our home county. Feels like your mikes away though..

[@davidbooth3285]

I’ve enjoyed the other videos on the island,but I find it hard to enthuse about the wealthy few in these days of austerity and food banks!! This is not a criticism of you or Liz and I hope I haven’t upset anyone!?!

[@alexlee4156]

David Booth I am very upset and you not welcome on my yacht!

[@deadm101]

I went on a school holiday to the IOW 60 odd years ago. We stayed in Sandown but went on trips all over the island. Being just 10 years old at the time I found it so exciting being away from home and also "across the sea"

[@RichardVobes]

Oh yes, how thrilling!
