Around Hayling Island 15th April 2010

Last Thursday six members answered Tony S's call (ok..., post) to join him on a circumnavigation of Hayling Island. With best laid plans abandoned, we found ourselves (as you do) dutifully mustered on the beach at Eastney and looking forward to a relaxed pootle around the island...., we should have known better; "what the b*$$dy h&*l was Metcheck on about? ~ 12mph winds?"

Thanks for arranging it Tony, it was a great day out!

Portchester to Fareham 11th April 2010








Last Sunday the residents of Portchester village awoke (in that sleepy village kind of way) to a hustle of activity and a wash of colour, as 25 PDCC members and their assorted kayaks decended on the picturesque hamlet. In a flurry of activity; bodies, kayaks and associated equipment were efficiently transported the couple of hundred yards to the waters edge where, as has become the custom; we enjoyed a friendly welcome from the sailing club officianado's as they gestured toward the gallows, erected the day before on hearing of our intention to use 'their' slipway..... Ok, I exaggerate.
