Spiaggia di Southsea a Portsmouth.
Mi stupisce ancora che tu possa prendere un hovercraft di linea come parte della rete di trasporto pubblico del Regno Unito.
La traversata per Ryde sull’Isola di Wight dura circa 10 minuti, rendendolo l’unico servizio commerciale di hovercraft per passeggeri disponibile tutto l’anno.
Guardarlo arrivare a riva è divertente quasi quanto cavalcarlo!
Qualcuno qui ci ha viaggiato? Esiste un trasporto pubblico britannico più unico?

You used to be able to get one across the Channel. I never got to ride it, but my parents had a memorable crossing that involved six hours of rough seas and entirely too much vomit.
Yes for work and leisure. For work in the morning mid winter during rough weather in the pitch black it’s terrifying. It rocks violently. It actually flipped a long time ago because of this.
I’m a bit bitter about the cost of travelling across the water around Portsmouth including the Gosport ferry. They’re some of, if not the most expensive stretches of water in the world.
Sorry to put a downer on it. I know it’s romantic and cool in principle. If you’re more interested there is a hovercraft museum in lee-on-solent.
Yep, been on it a bunch as a teen growing up, used to live in Southsea and would go across on the hovercraft and go ice skating at Ryde Arena on isle of Wight.
Or we would ride our bicycles and have picnics in random fields or skim stones on one of the little beech areas.
Life was so much better as a kid with no mobile, I feel so sorry for this generation.
Wife went on the cross channel one. She turns green at the thought of it
I’ve travelled on it a few times. It’s an interesting and entertaining way to travel but noisy as fuck!
