We made tracks for the east side of the island with an itinerary which included the Isle of Wight Steam Railway, St. Mildred's Church, Wippingham (where Prince Philip's grandfather is buried), East Cowes (where Norris Castle proved elusive) and then on to Ryde where Ruth and Mike went to an evening Speedway meeting, leaving me to explore the island's quirky railway system which runs from the Pierhead at Ryde down to Shanklin. It was a long day and we didn't get back until 10 p.m.
