The latest section of the Coastal Scheme to be completed is now open!
This is the section from the Hovercraft Terminal to the Aquarium (including the War Memorial).
So let's take the bus to The Hard and walk down to take a look!
Meet at the Barley Mow at 9.40 and catch 31 bus at 9.47 to Havant. Catch 700 Coastliner at 10.22 to The Hard in Portsmouth, postcode PO1 3TZ, grid reference SU630001, arriving at 10.58.
We will follow the Millennium Trail ("rope walk") from the Spinnaker Tower to Spice Island then along the coast as far as Southsea Castle.
We will go to the D-Day Museum and stop for half an hour for a cup of coffee and maybe a quick snack.
We will return the way we came - missing out Spice Island on the way back.
There are plenty of lunch opportunities for anyone wanting lunch at Gunwharf Quays, after which there is a 700 bus to Havant leaving every 20 minutes.
The total distance is 5.4 miles, and minimal height gain.
