As always August has started with grey, damp skies but we're not going to let that dampen our enthusiasm for the holiday month are we?! If you have friends and family visiting then do take them out on the Solar Heritage. The one hour trips run most days from Emsworth and are a fantastic way to the see the Harbour. A few days ago a seal was spotted which dived around the Conservancy's boat for a while.
If you are feeling energetic then join in the Harbour Conservancy's first ever Channel Hopper walk (16th) - you'll quite likely be getting your toes wet on this 14 mile adventure! Finally, there are just a couple of spaces left on the Driftwood Sculpture session (13th), if you are interested do give the Harbour Conservancy office a call on 01243 512301.
