Moderate water at Hurst Castle - part two (or should that be adrenaline junkies r us?)

Oooh, errr!













I was hoping to post a bit of video from our trip to Hurst Castle a couple of weeks ago but "the computer said no" - so here are some belated photos instead.























































































After a hard, yet enjoyable workout in "The Trap" it was nice to get into the lee of Hurst Castle for a break and some eats.



























































After our pitstop we headed out for round two.

Around Portsea Island (& back for a BBQ!) 12th July 2010

A gorgeous day awaited us as we arrived at Eastney for our circumnavigation of Portsea Island. Despite the forecast predicting an overcast afternoon with winds up to F5, we were delighted to find that the conditions were absolutely perfect; just enough to work up a healthy appetite!













The tide gave a helping hand up Langstone Harbour and Russell had planned it to perfection as we passed beneath the railway bridge at Hilsea, with inches to spare.




































































































Now on the home stretch we followed our noses back to Eastney and a well stoked bbq..... A great day out was had by all.
