1st Bleed Control Kit at #IsleOfWight to be installed outside #Nationwide Building Society Branch

The plans form part of a major initiative by Nationwide Building Society to provide #defibrillators and #bleed control kits at every one of its branches by the end of the year, making it the first banking provider to carry out such a scheme across its entire network.

The town of #Cowes on the north side of the #IsleOfWight functions as the main #port for passengers from the #Mainland. It is bisected by the mouth of the #RiverMedina, which forms a cleft in the #Island. To cross from one side to the other, instead of the #bridge, the town has a small #Ferry guided by chains, which works all day and late into the evening to transfer pedestrians and road users from one side to the other.

Amazon World Zoo on the Isle of Wight has announced the birth of twin #RedPanda cubs, born on June 17, 2025.

The arrival of the cubs is a success for the zoo's breeding program, which paired 10-year-old female Xiao with 10-month-old male Flint, imported from Belfast Zoo.

Making the most of the window of weather. Not pictured: fouling the prop with a submerged mooring line which I had to cut loose and still thawing out from. #rib #sup #standuppaddleboard #isleofwight #solent #boating #sea
