Solent Cruise September - Portsmouth and Port Solent
eve Fri 11th to Sun 13th September - Solent Cruise to Portsmouth and Port Solent
This weekend we are planning to head east from Port Hamble along the Solent to Portsmouth. We will have a look at the amazing Victorian engineering of the forts guarding the entrance to Portsmouth, before heading into Portsmouth Harbour. Motoring past the iconic Spinnaker Tower, naval dockyards including HMS Victory, we will travel past Porchester Castle which dates back to Roman times, right up to modern Port Solent marina a hub of shops and entertainment. We will eat out in Port Solent on Saturday night, and cruise back to Hamble on Sunday.
The plan is to meet on the boat in Port Hamble about 5-6pm, before walking into the picturesque village of Hamble for a pub supper. On Saturday morning, after breakfast and a safety briefing, we will set off down the River Hamble and out into the Solent. We will return to Port Hamble on Sunday afternoon about 4pm.
