A detailed account of the lithostratigraphy 26 27 of the strata in Scratchell‟s Bay is presented and integrated with macro and micro 28 biostratigraphical results for each formation present.

This impressive Grade II listed stone and brick built detached property is just one of three within an exclusive development which sits adjacent to acres of open fields and farmland. Views of these pleasant surroundings can be enjoyed from many of the rooms as a constant reminder of the attractive rural position. High, vaulted ceilings with exposed oak beams feature throughout this stylish barn along with many other high quality fittings helping to create an impressive finish throughout. The property is fully carpeted and ready to move straight into although one will need to decide whether to opt for an additional parcel of adjacent land of up to 5 acres by separate negotiation. We feel sure that purchasing 'Long Barn' is not just a new home but an exciting new lifestyle to boot whether as a permanent residence or as a country retreat. Miles of public footpaths and bridleways meander through the surroundings linking coastal walkways and neighbouring towns and villages.

Our website www.wightwash.org.uk is just about to pass 100,000 visits Please note that the views expressed in Wightwash are not necessarily those of the editor or CAM- RA (the Campaign for Real Ale) either nationally or locally - so there! Wightwash Page Two Well, I suppose it was always going to happen. After my cheerful editorial the last issue, something was bound to go wrong. Just as the last copy of Wight- wash was being delivered, the news came that Ventnor Brewery was to be closed. I think I can speak for everyone in the Isle of Wight branch of CAMRA when I say we owe an enormous debt of gratitude to Xavier Baker and all those involved in Ventnor Brewery; not only for their great beers, but also for the dedi- cation and enthusiasm that they put into pro- moting real ale on the Isle of Wight. We look forward to seeing Xav at the Pub and Beer of the Year Awards later this year when he will once again, and very sadly for the last time, collect the award for CAMRA's most popular Island beer - Ventnor Golden Bitter.
