A Trip to Hurst Castle, Keyhaven, Hampshire - 28th August 2015
We're down in the New Forest for a bit of camping in The Van. Whilst there, we take a trip on the ferry from Keyhaven - walking through the dinghy park where Stepdad #1's boat "Skua" used to be parked - out to Hurst Castle on Hurst spit, facing the Isle of Wight across the Solent.

A view of rain from inside the awning
Harry and Fred in the van
A cool mushroom
A forest of dinghies at Keyhaven
The Keyhaven Yacht Club
A nice old boat is readied
The wooden dinghy heads out
More dinghies
Swans drink fresh water from a boat
Harry and Isobel on the ferry
The Hurst Castle ferry
The other ferry passes us
A Laser canes it up the river
The Hurst Spit lighthouse
Some dudes do kite surfing
Lighthousey lookouts on Hurst Castle
A rusty iron bath
Harry and Fred on a bench
Rusty electrical equipment
A palm tree inthe castle grounds
Looking down Hurst Spit towards Milford
The boys find a hidey-hole
The building is falling apart in places
A boat on the Solent, with the Needles
People look out over the river
Cracked concrete
Fred and Harry run up to another observation room
Another view over the river
Looking towards the Isle of Wight
Isobel with the boys
Nosher joins in
Fred peeps out from behind a wall
The boys play with a lighthouse control panel
Fred gets a chair out
A random room full of chairs
A very rusted door handle
A rusty wood-burner
Fred in the magazine tunnels
A bunch of reproduction 12.5' shells
A hole from a shell in plate iron
Some military construction
Fred and a massive 12.5' gun
Harry and Fred
Isobel and the boys do a super-hero pose
Isobel looks through a hole in the wall
On the Isle of Wight
Back on the river, the tide has gone out
A yacht on the ferry pontoon
Fred runs down to the ferry
The previous ferry heads off up the river
The Hurst Castle lighthouse
Isobel and Harry
Isobel and Harry on the ferry back
A tattered red ensign in the wind
An Oyster Catcher pokes about
Beached fishing boats
A swan pokes about
Some people do a spot of crabbing
Crab pots
We go round to Sean's for a Thai take-away
Fred, Rowan and Harry freak out
At the campsite
Fred eats camper-van breakfast
We swing by again to see Great-Grandmother
