M25 junction 5

I will regret saying this bit we've just passed Junction 5 on the M25 and going well.

A3/M25

The A3/M25 junction was very bad - we spent 15 mins+ in the queue going almost nowhere.

With no more traffic, we'll probably get to school about 17:30.

What a lovely action packed weekend we have had at UKSA. We have been blessed with beautiful weather and we have had an amazing time.
The children have enjoyed kayaking, paddle-boarding, keel boat sailing and raft building. They also thoroughly enjoyed the slip and slide into the water!
It has been brilliant to see the children try all these new activities and to see the enjoyment on their faces all day.
The children have impressed me with their can do attitude and their supportive nature towards each other.
I would like to say a massive thank you to Miss Laughland, Mrs Harris and Mr Baines for their support during the trip.
Also a special thanks to Mr Beevers for keeping everyone up to date on our trip and taking photos that we can treasure.
We are all looking forward to seeing you all soon!

Heading home

We've found our coach and are on our way. With traffic as it is currently we'd expect to be back about 5pm but that all depends on the traffic ahead of us. The tracker is on and monitoring our progress, so you can follow our progress.

Leaving Cowes

Already, Cowes is disappearing behind us as we make our way out into the Solent

Goodbye UKSA

With a wave from some of our instructors, we're off!

Boat arriving

Our boat back to the mainland is just arriving

Departing arrangements

The boat will be here to take us back to Portsmouth at 13:00. The tracker is now on fir you to follow our progress home.

Chilling on the beach

Portsmouth

To the right from our beach - if we look hard - we can just make out Portsmouth and the Spinnaker tower. In just over 3 hours time we will pass through there on our way home.
