As much island hopping as groundhopping this one! The island at the eastern-edge of Hampshire is a popular tourist destination as well as being where in 1958, the windsurf board was invented by Peter Chilvers, although it took a 1982 court case to prove his claim! The island was used for “Operation Fabius,” in 1944 a mock invasion in preparation for D-Day. I enjoyed crossing the bridge over from Langstone and enjoying the view back over the harbour towards Portsmouth.
