The Spinnaker, Portsmouth.We spent the week-end in Portsmouth and Southsea to look over old haunts, catch up with some friends and relations, and generally hang out. The weather was fine.
Old Portsmouth - the civilian maritime quarter - has been largely redeveloped since my student days in the 1970's; there's not so very much that's old about it any longer. The centrepiece is the 'Spinnaker' - shown above, which is a millennium landmark with lift and observation decks, affording spectacular views of the city and it's surroundings.
The highlight of the visit is the 'walk of faith' or the walk across the glass floor to look down giddily to the ground below. It's enough to put the wind up pretty vertically!
