Gunwharf Quays To Southsea Seafront | Portsmouth Virtual Walk | December 2019 | Walk With Me UK
Join me on a walk from Gunwharf Quays to Southsea via the Millennium Walkway.
Three kilometres of promenade now links all of Portsmouth’s historic waterfront. The route starts from Spur Redoubt near Clarence Pier, Southsea and finishes on The Hard, taking in Old Portsmouth, the Camber and Gunwharf Quays.The walkway has been built of the highest quality natural stone and opened up waterfront land that had been closed to the public for centuries.
The route is indicated by a chain motif set into the surface, symbolising partnership between the communities of Portsmouth and Gosport and between past and present. Historically it also refers to the chain, which used to be tightened across the harbour entrance at times of potential attack.
Column-mounted lanterns light the promenade, designed to reflect the historic character of blue lights at night that are strung around the harbour.
4K London Night Walk - Canary Wharf WINTER LIGHTS 2020
Walk around the business district in London where hosting winter lights show. This festival has become Canary Wharf's annual event and this year is for their sixth year. I started filming at 4:30pm, just after the sunset, to avoid the crowd.
Enjoy watching light installations and illuminations of artworks.
Unfortunately I needed to replace some of original sounds due to music license issue in this video.

Portsmouth Historic Dockyard, September 2017, HM Naval Base, Portsmouth England. ( 36 )
Explosion Museum, Heritage Way, Priddy's Hard,Gosport,Hampshire,PO12 4LE
By Road: M27 to junction 11. Follow A32 to Gosport and brown tourist signs to Explosion Museum at Priddy's Hard. I looked on the map and it did not show any car parks near to this attraction. However on arriving there by waterbus service I did see a carp park within the grounds of this venue. It’s not large but usually many go over as a visit from the main Portsmouth Historic Dockside visit. There are enough spaces available for the few cars that go this way.
By Rail: Mainline route London to Portsmouth Harbour. Take the frequent ferry service across to Gosport ( 3 mins ). From the Ferry at Gosport, turn right and follow the Millennium Promenade to Explosion! at Priddy’s Hard ( 20 mins walk ) or taxi to Forton Lake Bridge ( 3 mins ).
By Water: Arrive in style on board our latest Waterbus Service linking Portsmouth Historic Dockyard, Explosion Museum of Naval Firepower and Royal Navy Submarine Museum. This is the way I arrived at this venue and was a pleasant trip across the water. The trip took about 10 minutes in total and arrived at the jetty next to the Museum.
Explosion is an award winning museum of naval warfare created within 18th century buildings at the Royal Navy's former armaments depot of Priddy's Hard, in Gosport, Hampshire.The museum is housed in a group of listed buildings which centre around the original powder magazine of 1771. These sit on the edge of a delightful western shore of Portsmouth Harbour, with views across to Portchester Castle, Whale Island and the Naval Base. Explosion traces the development of naval armaments from gunpowder to the Exocet missile. The displays explore the 18th century origins of Priddy's Hard, its historic buildings and earthworks, bringing alive the site's rich history. There's a fascinating social history too, including the story of how 2,500 women worked on the site during its peak in World War II. It describes the role that Priddy's Hard played in naval operations worldwide for over 200 years, as well as its importance to the local Gosport community, which not only armed the Navy but also fed and watered it.
The museum's extensive and unique collection was mostly assembled by superintendents of the former Naval Armaments Depot at Priddy's Hard. If it hadn't been for their foresight, a large slice of naval history would have been lost. Thanks to their efforts the museum boasts an extensive collection which includes small arms, cannon and guns, shells and munitions, mines, torpedoes and modern missiles. There's even an atom bomb, whose ominous hulk meets visitors on arrival. But alongside the hardware, Explosion tells a human story - of the designers, makers, seamen and thousands of female munitions workers who worked with these armaments over the centuries. From the beginning of exhibition, where a simulated locker room reveals Priddy's Hard through the eyes of those who worked there, visitors experience a real sense of the lives which this amazing story has touched.
This was my 4th trip to the Historic Dockyard, it’s just not possible to cover all the exhibits on one trip. This was made more enjoyable by the waterbus service trip across to this venue. I then walked to the Submarine Museum to cover the videos I could not complete on my last journey to there on the 13th September 2017. However the trip home was marred by signal failure between Portsmouth Harbour and Southampton. Causing many trains to be cancelled. A bus trip from Portsmouth to Southampton had to be taken then caught the train back to my home town. A very tiring trip this time.
There is a gift shop books and souvenirs and a coffee shop with magnificent views across to Portsmouth Harbour.

The Gosport Millennium bridge
The Gosport Millennium Bridge is a landmark structure, providing a pedestrian and cycle link across Forton Lake. The bridge is an essential link in the Millennium Promenade, and is part of the Renaissance of Portsmouth Harbour Millennium Scheme.
Funding for the bridge was partly from the Millennium Commission and the owner of the bridge, Gosport Borough Council.
A unique method for selecting the designer and constructor for the bridge was developed with the help of the Business Engineering Group. This research group is part of the Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering at the University of Southampton.
Maunsell were selected as the designer for the bridge and May Gurney were chosen to construct the bridge.
This video presents the bridge and places it within the context of Gosport and documents the design and construction of this multi award winning structure.
Running time 12 minutes.

Portsmouth
Con ben 800 anni di storia navale alle spalle, Portsmouth sta velocemente diventando la città portuale più cosmopolita della Gran Bretagna.
L'Historic Dockland è un pullulare di bar, ristoranti e negozi, ma anche deliziose sale da tè e piccole botteghe di ogni genere.
Per un viaggio nel passato, basta seguire la Millennium Promenade sulle orme dell'Ammiraglio Nelson, o immergersi nell'atmosfera della Casa Natale di Charles Dickens. Il tutto dominato dal simbolo della città, la Spinnaker Tower che, con i suoi 170 metri di altezza, offre una splendida visita dello skyline cittadino.

Lynn wind farm from Skegness
Here are two clips of a set of 5 wind turbines in the Lynn wind farm, as seen from Skegness. The first is taken from up on the promenade and the second is taken from down on the beach, fairly close to sea level. Pay close attention to the blue paint at the bottom of the turbines and watch how it changes between the two clips.

Nuclear waste? I think so!
RMS Olympic
RMS Olympic was a transatlantic ocean liner, the lead ship of the White Star Line's trio of Olympic-class liners. Unlike her younger sister ships, the Olympic enjoyed a long and illustrious career, spanning 24 years from 1911 to 1935. This included service as a troopship during World War I, which gained her the nickname Old Reliable. Olympic returned to civilian service after the war and served successfully as an ocean liner throughout the 1920s and into the first half of the 1930s, although increased competition, and the slump in trade during the Great Depression after 1930, made her operation increasingly unprofitable.
She was the largest ocean liner in the world for two periods during 1911–13, interrupted only by the brief tenure of the slightly larger Titanic, and then outsized by the SS Imperator. Olympic also retained the title of the largest British-built liner until the RMS Queen Mary was launched in 1934, interrupted only by the short careers of her slightly larger sister ships.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
The East Coast Greenway is a 3,000-mile (4,800 km) biking and walking route linking the major cities of the Atlantic coast of the United States, from Calais, Maine, to Key West, Florida. The spine route and branching complementary routes are for non-motorized human transportation for everything from local commutes to long-distance trips.
The nonprofit East Coast Greenway Alliance was created in 1991. The entire route has been selected. As of July 2017, 900 miles (1,450 km), or 32 percent of the route, is off-road on traffic-protected greenways. The vision is for the entire trail to be off-road.
