Ryde Beach

Today, Jen, Fi, Ollie and myself all went to Ryde on the Isle of Wight to enjoy the sunny weather on the beach.

As the water at Ryde is very shallow, the ferry lands at the end of a pier which is 2,234 feet long. There is also a hovercraft service from Southsea which goes straight into Ryde, but getting to the ferry is easier for us plus we enjoy the walk along the pier into town.

Ollie and Ffion enjoyed playing in the sand, digging holes, paddling and chasing each other and Fi loved being buried. Ollie did her a hairstyle with seaweed.

We watched as a boat ran aground in the shallow waters and the crew had to get out, turn it round and push it back out to sea. Oops!

After the beach we went to a fair where Ffion had a go on the waterballs, helter skelter, crazy golf and a scarey ride that span her and Ollie upside down!
