Gunwharf quays is amazing for designer shopping at outlet prices, but not as ming mong as normal outlet places.

And you can always go and watch Pompey. Play up, Pompey!

Nothing. It was and probably still is a dive. Soton was a bit better. But only marginally.

Quite a lot better then Birmingham though  :P

Jamie's Italian is overpriced. The one I went to (in Ireland) was also full of wankers.

Yeh I walked past that! Looked quite cosey. There is a Holiday Inn on Gunwharf Keys which looks pretty dencent so thinking about that aswell for the next few weeks. I was in the wrong lane, but didn't want to force my way in so just came off, sat nav re-routed me  and actually worked out quicker!!



Gunwharf quays is amazing for designer shopping at outlet prices, but not as ming mong as normal outlet places.

It's decent! Do lo liek it. Think we'll bne there a few more times to spend money!! Casino though :/

Jamie's Italian is overpriced. The one I went to (in Ireland) was also full of wankers.

Whilst the place was full of the usual pretentious people, the food was average priced for what it was. For me, food is food, I’m not that bothered really (unlike the table next to us…nearly spat my food out listening to them go on about how their fish was fried!). Do I give ?

Only things Portsmouth is good for is the outlet stores and the uni bars cheap drinks :happy2:

Found the union :p, guy at works gunna take us therer tonight as we start work late tomorrow! And  Monday night…..cheeeeap!

Krispy Kream meet in two weeks. saw a post over on the R32 forum.
Thanks Horatio, appreciate that. I think we’ll pop down, even if the golf doesn’t come as it’s still local.


Thank you all! Appreciate it! We’re gunna head to Southampton/Bournemouth aswell and get some  climbing in too.

Get the car keys and pop up to Beaulieu for the National Car Museum.

Alternatively, jump on the ferry to the Isle of Wight.  Mainly because the Isle of Wight makes four weeks in Portsmouth look attractive.

Yeh deffo going to Beaulieu. Guy I was with today mentioned it as we were in Brockenhurst! Apparently all the top gear stuff is there too! Be a good day.

Saw a Ferrari garage in the middle of a high street , just look wired between a pub and some housing!
