Isle of Wight

N and I booked a weekend away to the Isle of Wight... a place I haven't been too since 1979. That visit 28 years ago was with my classmates from Skyswood School and bizarrely I can remember aspects of it quite vividly. I shared a room with R and Philip A and during the week there was a competition to see who had the tidiest rooms, the prize being a rather small teddy bear. I also remember being refused a glass of water from one of the waiters in the hotel (he probably objected to serving 10 to 11 year olds) and I had to drink some horrible cherryade. Blackgang Chine and Robin Hill... yep it comes flooding back to me!

Just one question though. Why is Blackgang Chine called Blackgang Chine?
