Isle of
Wight Weekend: Friday 14 to Monday 17 July: In memory of Sylvia Cummins, an
enthusiastic SWC walker, a weekend trip is planned. Full walk and transport
details will be published shortly, but the main walk which Sylvia had devised
and enjoyed with other walkers will be on Saturday 15 July.
Ventnor is
the best town to stay in for the planned walks.
If you cannot get accommodation in Ventnor then Shanklin would be a good
alternative. The No. 3 bus connects
Shanklin and Ventnor.
You can buy
a through ticket from London Waterloo to any station along the Island Line
network (including Shanklin).
UPDATE: The Island Line railway is now running again. More information including stops, tickets etc can be found here:

Bus Timetables: https://www.islandbuses.info/services
The Eversley Hotel is one option in Ventnor https://www.eversleyventnor.co.uk and there should be plenty of bed and breakfasts, apartments etc available.
Proposed
walks (with swimming opportunities):
Friday 14th
July: walk from Lake or Shanklin to
Ventnor along the coastal path.
Saturday 15th
July: Chale to Ventnor a clifftop walk requiring a bus to the start from
Ventnor or Shanklin.
Sunday 16th
July: Ventnor to Godshill and return by
bus( longer option, walk back to Ventnor/Shanklin)
Monday 17th
July: Walk to Shanklin or Lake over the
downs and then train back to Ryde.
Alternative option would be the coastal path which would be Friday’s
walk in reverse.
