Many thanks to those members who have agreed to take on the role of cruise organiser this year. The cruising programme is quite busy with events spreading right across the sailing season. It is the nature of sailing that it is highly likely that some events will be affected by the weather. That is one reason for planning such a packed program.

  • Hurst Spit to Lymington Project Introductory Briefing Note
    Final June 2020 Hurst Spit to Lymington Project Introductory Briefing Note Introduction The Environment Agency in partnership with New Forest District Council, Hampshire County Council and Natural England with expert support from JBA Consulting are exploring a sustainable future for the coastal frontage between Hurst Spit and Lymington in relation to flood and coastal erosion risk management. This project aims to investigate if and how to respond to the significant challenges facing this area of coastline now and into the future, and how to fund any potential works going forward. This Briefing sets out more details, and we welcome your questions and input as the project develops. This coastal frontage is located within the New Forest and extends from Milford-on- Sea in the west, encompasses Keyhaven and Pennington Marshes extending up the Lymington River to the east (see Figure 1). The Hurst Spit to Lymington coastline is characterised by large areas of low-lying coastal habitats, including mudflats, saltmarsh and vegetated shingle. The existing defences, as well as protecting local communities, protects large areas of coastal grazing marsh and coastal lagoons. The habitats and the species which can be found along this section of coast are of international importance. The rich biodiversity creates the stunning landscape, which is accompanied by cultural and historical heritage of significant status. For these reasons the area attracts substantial visitor numbers and is enjoyed by a range of recreational users, for activities such as walking, sailing and fishing. These factors along with natural coastal processes will need to be carefully considered as the project develops.

  • PRESIDENTIAL ADDRESS. the Honour You Have Done Me By
    PRESIDENTIAL ADDRESS. By O. G. S. CRAWFORD, F.B.A., F.S.A. HE honour you have done me by electing me as your President for the forthcoming year is one that I appreciate highly and Tfor which I thank you. Like our retiring President, I am a Hampshire man, and we both have a particular affection for the lower reaches of the Test valley, where we live. I shall try, during my term of office, to emulate him and to be present at as many of our Field Meetings as possible ; and I hope that we shall often see him there too. These peregrinations through the country are, in my considered opinion,, of very great value not only to ourselves, but to the County and country. They show people that there are quite a number of people who obviously take an interest in things old and things beautiful, in the physical structure of our country and the earlier forms of life that inhabited it, in the birds and plants that now live here. Without such occasional demonstrations their existence is in danger of being overlooked by those whose eyes have not been opened to the interesting tilings that swarm around them, if they only knew it. To take antiquities only : In the course of my own field-work I have come across several instances outside Hampshire where people have refrained from damage or destruction not from any interest of their own, but simply because they know that others are interested in them; and because they are decent people they respect that interest, even without sharing it.

  • The Key to Keyhaven
    KS4 Geography 111112 Ecosystems Route: Lymington-Yarmouth The Key to Keyhaven STUDENT INTRODUCTION The picture above shows Keyhaven Saltmarshes, which are part of the more extensive salt marsh system which extends along the coast to the east of Lymington. In this resource you are going to learn all about what slat marshes are and how they develop. On your ferry crossing, from Lymington to Yarmouth (or vice versa), you will be able to see the salt marshes for yourself. You will also be learning about their importance, threats to salt marsh ecosystems and what can be done to manage them. What you learn may form part of a case study for your exam, so make sure you pay attention. Introducing Salt Marshes PRE-VISIT Read the following information very carefully – you will then complete a TASKS series of tasks based on what you have read and learnt! Salt marshes are found in coastal environments where sheltered water allows sediment to be deposited and build up over time to create a unique ecosystem. Sheltered water is found behind a spit, and this can provide the perfect conditions for deposition of sediment. Similarly, estuaries, where rivers enter the sea, are areas where large accumulations of sediment which have been carried down by the river can be deposited. Where they develop at river mouths, the water will be brackish – partly salty and partly fresh water). Sediment is deposited and initially builds up to form mud flats. These are exactly what the name suggests – flat areas of mud! They are what is known as intertidal, in that they are covered at high tide and exposed at low tide.

At Linwood at the end of May and beginning of June, every year, a great jnvasion of rooks, largely young birds, occurs. Normally there are no rooks .at Linwood. This sudden extension of feeding ground to a new area must indicate some special food supply here, at this time of year.
