Stones 1

The Yaverland stone man had been at it again. Clearly not deterred by the Yaverland demolition man. For his previous efforts see at and around reference 1.

Note the lump of concrete, probably derived from one or other of the second world war installations on the cliffs round about. Was the beach used to practise the Normandy landings?

Thinking about it this morning, I wonder about the merits of an island like the Isle of Wight as a stepping stone to the invasion of the mainland. I think the Vikings used islands in estuaries for their forward bases and I remember about at least one disaster on the island of Walcheren (of the Scheldt) from my school days.
