And a benefit office that simply heaves on a Friday (KFC next door)…..

Fish/seafood market? A chance to buy some decent oysters would make the trip worthwhile as far as the wife in concerned

Portsmouth Fish Market? @Alex

[Alex]

@UnTucked There are two 'real' markets in Portsmouth, the more central of the two called Vivers, the other Johnstones. Viviers is right in between Gunwharf Quay and Old Portsmouth, by foot, and right outside a nice bar/bistro called the A Bar.

Will be in the UK for the first two weeks of October. Are visits to IHUKHQ possible/welcomed?

[Rococo]

@Mister_Brue much obliged!

[Matt]

Have fun! It’s like Denim Euro Disney. It’s the worst of the parks but still kind of fun.

Day off, visit the Gosport shop tomorrow?

Hi,

Asking IH staff and generally people living in UK.
I will be landing at Heathrow tomorrow at 12:20, and I am free for the rest of the day, do you think it would be feasible to catch a train and visit the IH shop in Gosport? I see that the shop closes at 17:45. As far as I see it is a 2 hour train ride, so I might be there between 3 or 4PM.

Thanks.

Very feasible, but travel from Heathrow to Gosport by public transport is not easy. Drop a note to shop@ironheart.co.uk to discuss.....

Thanks @Giles
Just sent them an email.

@nickname a friend just arrived today to Portsmouth from Heathrow and took a national express coach and said it was easy, took an hour and a half and less than £20. Worth checking out as the bus station is next to the ferry to Gosport and then just a fifteen min walk to IHUK.

@nickname Just a heads up that I’ve moved your post to the Gosport thread.

[seawolf]

@goosehd You run a tight ship!

[goosehd]

@seawolf I take that as a compliment, although some might not agree.

[seawolf]

@goosehd It was meant as a compliment for sure! I love how tidy you keep things around here.

Morgan and I are planning a trip to England, Ireland, and Scotland next summer. You can bet your denim covered ass I’m making time to come say hi to the gents and ladies there in Gosport.

[seawolf]

@Mizmazzle Dude, that sounds amazing. We did 12 days in Scotland last year. Hit me up if you want some travel tips!

[JoshC]

@Mizmazzle awesome, we look forward to seeing you! just give us a shout when you know the dates and plan on popping in!

[Mizmazzle]

@Mister_Brue we are really excited about the trip. We have some great friends that live in Exeter that are inspiring our trip. Sadly we only have about 2 1/2 weeks. Maybe all three places is too much ground to cover in that time??

@seawolf oh brother man!! Good to know. I for sure will be picking your brain and any of the locals’ for tips and tricks!!

@JoshC thanks Josh. I for sure will make sure to let you guys know the days we’ll be coming to visit. Save me one of each of the good items in a size large!!

@Mister_Brue said in Gosport (UK):

@Mizmazzle That is a lot of ground to cover, especially when the main effort is Gosport.

Just try to avoid rush hour if you end up taking a train to the Gosport Ferry. I was smushed in there with our luggage packed in like sardines.
