Shacklin, looking west.


On the Isle of Wright. We were on our way to see the Shanklin Chine, which is a gorge, and its famous waterfall which Jane Austen declared "lovely". Strong word, but she chose it aptly.

Well, we hadn't got there yet so I didn't know any of this. The kind K, who was my traveling companion, was determined to wet her feet. I was determined to keep mine dry, so I sat down with my pinarello Dyna, dressed in full Campagnolo, and drew this picture.

I will add here that the Isle of Wright is a fine place to ride a bike if you don't mind moderate hills, as the picture implies.
