Sherlock Holmes weekend - Friday night and Saturday morning

Rabbits at the M40 services - clearly unbothered by anyone



Bishop Otter Campus was not as old as the name suggests. Our room was in this block. The rooms were comfortable



In the refectory roly poly pudding and lashings of custard



Back at school we wait for the itinerary for the weekend



Saturday morning after a good English fry up - all aboard the bus and off to Gosport. Rain fortunately had stopped.



Arrived at the Gosport Submarine Museum. A fascinating place - full of steamy goodness!
The yard full of depth charges and mines




Old submersible



Deep sea diving?


We get to board a submarine



It's so small inside. 60 men lived and worked here



Lots of wheels, dials and levers. A steampunk dream





Escape hatch



The toilets and washing area - although there was very little water for washing.Mostly nobody washed at all whilst at sea.





Tiny kitchen area



Bunks - I've seen more spacious coffins!



Inside the museum - lots of fun buttons and interactive stuff



Nice



Lots of lovely items I would like



Briton's first submarine the Holland I built in 1901 and rescued from the bottom of the sea and restored.
Model of how she would have looked

Our ferry to Portsmouth - off to lunch with the mayor!
