Meetup at Alexandra Park, Portsmouth, South East at 13:30 on Sunday, 28th September 2025

Tides tomorrow:

Airdata for tomorrow

You’re not going to be worried by wind speeds and gusts at altitude (unless you are using a very long piece of string) but if you do a scenic flight as well as a rescue they are 7m/s and 10 m/s respectively. Well within limits.

Still waiting to hear what interesting and unusual ways nik will get shafted today :wink:

I would like to pop back down tomorrow.

As you say the conditions seem reasonable

Hopefully can come along (for a laugh) tomorrow. :+1:

If you’re there for low tide (2pm) I will tag along too…as long as I’m awake and had my first coffee :crossed_fingers:

We had a ‘lockdown’ at work this morning (first time in ages) due to a discrepancy and didn’t get home until 7:30am! :scream: Still woke up at 1pm though!…I think a couple of hours kip before work tonight will be called for :face_with_spiral_eyes:

1:25 pm .. see above post. :wink:

01:25 (which is am)is when I’m at work. 14:07 (which is pm) is when I’ve just got up and (normally) drinking coffee :ok_hand:

:man_facepalming: Ah - indeed - silly me.

She was better by the end of Monday, thanks.

By then, I had a stinking migraine and she was looking after me. :stuck_out_tongue:

I’ll be at the spot a while before the appointed time..

I’ll probably do another calshot sunrise beforehand. Rental is going in a few days so why not..

My recent raid of my local halfords includes arc welding rods, a big nut and bolt, sticky velcro and some other stuff just incase i decide to throw caution to the wind…

When you get stuck in mud up to your chest with the tide racing in can I have first dibs on your M30?

It was most most pleasant the other morning too.

I was also informed there be seals there.

Ill have to keep my eye out for them even tho i won’t want to get close with a buzzer buzzing around them.

I see one maybe twice a month as they don’t tend to hang about. You’ll have more a chance seeing them for a longer duration around Hythe Marina.

Really, ok thank you.

I think i was there a couple of weeks ago.
I’ll check my footage :wink:

Right, phantom on charge
Paracord packed.
Alarm set
Cue annoyance that my local costa will be closed when i leave.

This seems like this may end up with at least three, probably four GADC members which is a sufficient number to qualify for an official meetup. we have met at this location twice before.

Does anyone want to claim the honours for hosting Alexandra Park meetup number 3?
