  7. A nice ride around the South Island today; you can reschedule the official Randonnée, but there were a lot of people out there enjoying the May weather. The West Wight was much sunnier. #IOW

  9. Die Studie des #IÖW, #IW u.a. zur #Energiewende: Deutsche Städte und Landkreise können ihre Einnahmen aus erneuerbaren Energien mehr als verdoppeln, wenn sie die Ausbauziele für #Wind- und #Solaranlagen erreichen: von heute 5,5 auf 12,4 Milliarden Euro jährlich ab dem Jahr 2033. Daran ändert Katherina #Reiche nichts, indem sie die Studie verschweigt ;-). ioew.de/news/article/ausbau-er

  13. 💨 Der seit Anfang Januar anhaltende Ostwind hat den mittleren Wasserstand der Ostsee auf einen historischen Tiefstand sinken lassen.

    🐟 Daraus ergibt sich nach Ansicht der Forscher am Leibniz-Institut für Ostseeforschung Warnemünde (IOW) die seltene Chance, dass demnächst viel kaltes Salzwasser aus der Nordsee in großen Mengen in die Ostsee strömt – und die Lebensbedingungen vieler Fische etwas verbessert.

  17. #Reform candidate should be ‘expelled’ after racist attack on 3 #Scottish politicians

    We told how Chris #Parry, a retired naval rear admiral who is contesting the #Hampshire and the #Solent (Isle of Wight) #mayoral #election, took aim at Humza Yousaf, Kaukab Stewart, and Anas Sarwar on Twitter/X.

  21. Changes ahead in 2026 for the Isle of Wight (IoW) Randonnee, including a move from May to September.

    It has been a regular fixture on my calendar for years. I'm hoping it retains the same relaxed spirit. Good luck to the new organisers.

  23. #Ventor on the #IsleOFWight suffered deluge of flying ants 100 years ago

    The roads and pavements of the High Street, other thoroughfares, the Esplanade and the beach were said to have become literally smothered with myriads of these #insects.

    Holidaymakers were forced to return to their rooms, and those venturing outside were said to have been covered by #ants from head to foot.

  28. #IsleOfWight Tesco turn shoppers away due to jammed door

    #Profit motived #IOW #ferries sub-standard services

    “All I was told (by #Tesco) was that the doors were jammed, so they need an engineer from the mainland.”

    “Ferries are an issue (always) obviously because of the Isle of Wight Festival.”

    There’s barely a ‘normal’ day when IOW ferries don’t have failures causing cancellations or delays
