The route past Portsmouth and Southampton which has neen a bit of a block for my coastal journey and in my mind was completed in August on my Birthday.

Coast 6 – Lanstone Harbour to Gosport
I decided to cycle this next bit of the South coast for a couple of reasons. Firstly because I would be journeying through Portsmouth City and then Southampton. Secondly it would take me days and I'm not that keen to walk cities or suburbia. I completed the first section Langstone to Gosport in 2020 between … Continue reading Coast 6 – Lanstone Harbour to Gosport
Coast 7 – Gosport to Weston
The next leg was about 25 miles and starting from Gosport (via train and ferry).Much of this was built up and really busy. I followed the Solent way through Lee on Solent which is paved or road and occasionally I had to walk. There were some notable areas, At Seafield there was a bus rally … Continue reading Coast 7 – Gosport to Weston

On another day we accompanied Dad to Pitfour Lake.As you may be aware from the Australia trip Dad is an experienced birdwatcher. This walk illustrated to him that he needs a hearing test as Daran and I were identifying calls that he was unaware of. Ah well!The lake is a fishing pool and has nice … Continue reading More Walks With My Brother
