| Beaulieu River to Lymington | 2019-05-22 | A short sail round from Bucklers Hard on the Beaulieu River to the Town Quay at Lymington. We left the peace and tranquility of the Beaulieu River and after a short sail reached the yachting mega-centre that is Lymington. Because we were so early in the sailing season we were able to tie up at Lymington Town Quay without rafting. Derek's brother and family were keen to try some sailing on his yacht so he took them out for a sail towards Yarmouth. Then a very pleasant dinner at Stanwell House Hotel. Tags:

| Wooton Creek to Beaulieu River | 2019-05-21 | From Wooton Creek, past Cowes and Fawley and into the Beaulieu River. We left Wooton Creek and sailed across the Solent to the Beaulieu River. We motored up the river past Bucklers Hard and towards the top of the navigable river. We then moored up at Buckers Hard marina (which we feared would be frighteningly expensive but was actually quite reasonable when compared with the Poole marina and given the excellent facilities). Lunch and dinner at the Master Builders and a visit to the rather good Bucklers Hard museum. Tags:

| River Avon kayaking | 2021-07-16 | Put the kayak in at Bantham back beach and then paddled up river to a few hundred yards past the bridge at Aveton Gifford.
At AG pretty much at high tide (on a neap tide) - wouldn't want to miss the timings by more than an hour or two given how that pretty much all of the Avon dries out.
Lovely trip - very, very hot.

Not too far today as there was a keen wind to be paddled against on the way back down the Tresillian.
