EXCLUSIVE USE
PER PERSON

Everyone's boarded, the luggage is loaded up and the coach departs school for the journey to Portsmouth
Toilet and driver rest stops will be taken as necessary
After a timely arrival at Portsmouth it's time to get off the coach and head upstairs to the open deck or the passenger lounge for a good look around. For many students, this will be their first time at sea
It's a 40 minute crossing to Ryde on the Isle of Wight, across waters which are generally quite sheltered

After a short drive to Ryde it's time to get back on the ferry for the journey home to the "north island" as we call it...
It's a crossing to on the mainland, and an ideal opportunity for everyone to eat a packed lunch before the onward journey
Back on the coach and now it's just a simple case of zipping up the motorway and back to school
The homeward journey should be a lot quieter than the drive down - hopefully everyone will be exhausted from having a great time here on the Isle of Wight and full of precious memories
Again, toilet stops will be taken as necessary
