Sallyport to Fishbourne Sunday 7th November 2010



With a noticeable chill in the air just seven members (and their 'Pogies') gathered at Sallyport for the two trips that were scheduled last Sunday. Three of us joined Steve E for a pleasant jaunt across the Solent to Fishbourne whilst two members were guided along the coast to Lee on Solent by Richard S. On our return, any thoughts of a gentle 'wind down' were summarily dismissed by several million litres of water rushing through Portsmouth Harbour entrance creating a veritable torrent; it was interesting to say the least, but fun (in a masochistic sort of way and at least we weren't cold anymore!).

Sallyport to Bembridge 2010 October

Sallyport to Bembridge (Well, not quite) 31 October 2010

Eight members enjoyed a lively paddle across the Solent on Sunday. Whilst the original plan was to head to Bembridge visibility was poor and we were concerned about making the return trip in fading light, it was decided that we would haul out on a lovely sand beach about half a mile to the East of Sea View (I think the real reason was due to some not wanting to miss out on a bit of 'Trick or Treating').
