Think of a day trip, enjoying the scenery, a nice lunch and tourist attractions. Now imagine it without the coach fare and with the flexibility to reschedule if the weather is appalling! Make sure you have your bus pass, comfortable walking shoes, and any medication you need. It will help communications if you have a fully charged mobile phone with you. (shopping bag and camera optional)
Our two monthly trips usually take place on the third Wednesday and third Friday of each month. We usually meet at Havant Bus Station but some people find it easier to join us further along the route. Our September trips went to Hayling via the Eastney Ferry. Our next trips will be to Chichester on Friday 16th October and Wednesday 21st October.
We went to Wickham in August for the ambience and the shopping arcades. You can see the bus stop on the left of the picture and the lunch venue on the right.
We took the hovercraft to the Isle of Wight in July, then a bus trip to the Donkey Sanctuary via the scenery at Sandown, Shanklin and Ventnor. We came back via Newport, it was a long day but very enjoyable.
We visited Midhurst in deepest Sussex in June. We had good service and an excellent lunch at The Lions Den..
We visited Southsea in May, and had an early lunch to make the most of our time there. Attractions included the D Day Museum, the Rose Garden and the new sea front.
Christmas Lunch at The Berkeley in Old Bosham

We went on a Compass Bus 99 to Petworth in August 2025, with its unique buildings, scenery and shops.
