Yarmouth Pier from the castle

Today, a trip around the western extremities of the I.O.W. courtesy of an open-top 'bus. The small town of Yarmouth was visited, followed by a pleasant ride through the countryside, ending up at the Needles Old Battery for an excellent view of the rocks, lighthouse and coastline; it was a dry but very blustery day, though as on previous days, the sunshine broke through in the afternoon. I alighted the 'bus at Freshwater Bay where, surprise surprise, I bumped into a fellow researcher by the name of Ruth who gave me a lift back to the bungalow in her van.
