Isle of Wight Visible From Brighton?

[Norman Potting]

Up here in the Northern Heights of Sussex on a leap year you can see the Needles and the lighthouse and the keeper holding a glass tube full of coloured sand.

The top of Elm Grove is also visible from the IOW

I'll give you a wave next time!

Can anyone settle an argument. We've just had our loft converted, and living in Hollingdean we're pretty high up at the back of Brighton, from where, on a clear day looking west, we can see land in the far distance running quite a way out to sea. It seems too far out to be Selsey Bill, and so must surely be the Isle of Wight?! Obviously this has been the cause of some concern in our household, the I.O.W. being in the heart of Portscum territory. Any ideas NSC?

100% you can. I used to live in a flat the top of Dyke Road and used to see it when the weather was right.

the complete IOW showing both the big hill behind Ventnor and the white cliffs north of Sandown (most people only capture the south bit) . Picture taken from top of bear road 13 years ago.

And how shite did those tubes look when you did it yourself?

Anyway, only the other day it was so clear I could see Mark King in his backyard slapping that bass proper!

I was driving by his gaff at the same time and it definitely wasn’t his bass he was slapping.

Any excuse to post their best non pop song in their early days!

Seen it many times on a clear day from Dyke Golf course.

I used to know someone who was told 'see the Isle of Wight?' at the Devil's Dyke, looked at it, and said 'that's France, surely?'.

Then, we later found out she was brought up in Portsmouth, opposite the Isle of Wight. True story.
