Six friends rented e-bikes to cycle around the Isle of Wight but ended up needing a taxi rescue.

Six friends set out to cycle around the Isle of Wight on e-bikes, but the ambitious plan ended with sore legs, depleted batteries and a taxi rescue mission. The group stayed at Tapnell Manor, part of the Tapnell Farm estate in West Wight. The manor sleeps up to 24 people and offers communal spaces and countryside views.

They arrived at the island via Wightlink ferry from Lymington to Yarmouth as foot passengers before collecting hire bikes for the journey. Tapnell Farm also operates an award-winning farm park with activities including animal encounters, indoor play areas and outdoor adventures.

Despite the cycling plan not succeeding as intended, the weekend proved to be one of the most enjoyable mini-breaks the group had experienced in a long time. The scenery around the estate, with rolling countryside and the coast nearby, offered a sense of escape from everyday life.
