      In all probability none of the Iron Heart crew will be able to join in.  Straight after F 'n" C we have a whirlwind of things going on…...

        I have to plan my agenda but if possible I would love to join you at the Fish  and chips party and for the IH hike if it happens. My IH 25 oz jeans would be just broken in enough to enjoy some rougher outdoor activities

So never throw away any raw denim rags - Use them as long as possible and when it comes to their end - there is a safe place where your favorite items can rest in peace for ever in the Jeansmseum ruedi.karrer@jeansmuseum.org

                      I could be persuaded to come. I found a Marriott Hotel in Portsmouth, how close is this to Gosport. I did see it's 3.5 miles. How easy is it to get there from London? Thanks. I could bring some duty free booze.

                        Sam/IH You have to go to downtown near the Spinnaker tower and get the Gosport ferry over to Gosport.

                            Portsmouth is approx 90 mins from London by train.  Then you catch a 5 min ferry over to Gosport where we now have a shiny new Premier Inn.  If you are flying into Heathrow, I am sure there is some coordination that can be done and taxi shares arranged… @Madame Buttonfly will discuss hotels etc soon….

                                      Hi all

                                      Yes, date for the main event is Saturday 11th July, and of course we'll be looking to make a full weekend of it especially with those of you coming in from further afield!  One of our biggest challenges as the numbers grow is finding decent accommodation locally.

                                      @Sam/IH the Marriott Portsmouth is a nice hotel but unfortunately not very well located.  It's in north Portsmouth, so a good drive from central Portsmouth and the ferry over to Gosport.  It's a bit closer to Gosport by road than central Portsmouth, but still a good 20 mins by car/taxi (longer in our frequent heavy traffic).

                                      I just booked some rooms at the closest place, the Spring Garden Lane Guest House just around the corner, if you want one of these please let me know as soon as possible (plus nights you need).

                                      Other places in Gosport all 1 to 3 miles good walk away, or a few mins by taxi (*good basic hotel, but taxi recommended as not a nice walk down main road with heavy traffic, **often get booked in advance on Saturdays because they are popular wedding venues)

                                      Premier Inn* http://www.premierinn.com/en/hotel/GOSFAR/gosport
                                      The Old Lodge** http://www.alverstokeoldlodge.co.uk/accomodation/
                                      The Anglesey Arms** http://www.angleseyhotel.co.uk
                                      The Alverbank** http://www.alverbankhotel.co.uk

                                      Other places in Portsmouth close to the historic Dockyard, shops and the ferry over to Gosport (travel time to Iron Heart about 20-30 mins total walk to ferry/ferry/walk or ferry Gosport side).

                                      Holiday Inn Express Gunwharf Quays http://www.holidayinn-expressportsmouth.co.uk
                                      The George http://www.thegeorgehotel.org.uk

                                      Hope this helps, early booking is recommended because - as I said above - we suffer from a lack of good guest accommodation in the area.  I have never stayed at any of the hotels listed, so can't vouch for their quality or comfort!  If you need any help with bookings please let me know.  I'll ask local friends to recommend other places, and some may even have a spare room they would be willing to offer.
