We arrived on the Isle of Wight on a blustery day and enjoyed a crab sandwich and a pint of locally brewed beer by this very welcome fire.
After studying tracklogs (where we have the route taken) and OS Maps (a new interface to get used to!) and times of photos, with guess work this is in the woodland near Upper Hyde.

Oddly, this was being crewed by a firefighter from Surrey Fire and Rescue Service attending an incident on the Isle of Wight.
Seems like this was being used as a spare due to an issue with the normal car.
Not sure on the legalities of a firefighter using a vehicle marked as Police...?

The Isle of Wight Zoo, previously known as the Sandown Zoo, is a sanctuary inside the former Sandown Fort on the coastline of Sandown, Isle of Wight. The zoo was privately owned but became a charitable trust in 2017. The collection focuses principally on big cats and Madagascan animals.
As part of the European Endangered Species Programme, the zoo has had success breeding several species of Madagascan animals including the critically endangered black-and-white ruffed lemur.
Originally known as Sandown Zoo, the zoo was established in the 1950s. By the 1970s it had fallen into disrepair, and was dubbed "The Slum Zoo of Britain" by The Sunday Times. However, in 1976 the zoo was taken over by a new owner Jack Corney, and over the following years it was rebuilt as a sanctuary for big cats and primates. Since Corney died in 2003 the zoo has been run by his daughter Charlotte.
The shot was taken back in 2009 so I guess there have been lots of changes since our visit .
At the time there was a section in the fence that was like an inset sentry box of solid glass and so one could capture a shot without looking through a fence .
