Lee-on-the-Solent, often referred to as Lee-on-Solent, is a small seaside district within the Borough of Gosport in Hampshire, England about five miles west of Portsmouth. The area is located on the coast of the Solent. It is primarily a residential area, with an upsurge of mostly local visitors in summer, but is well known as the former home to the Royal Naval Air Station HMS Daedalus (renamed as HMS Ariel from 1959 to 1965).
The district gained its name in the 19th century, during attempts to develop the area into a seaside resort. The area had been referenced long before this, referred to as Lee and numerous variations, including Lebritan. Early impetus for the district's development came from Charles Edmund Newton Robinson, who persuaded his father, John Charles Robinson, art curator and collector, to fund the buying of land.
Lee-on-the Solent has had a long association with aviation. Seaplane trials took place at Lee-on-the-Solent as early as 1915. A base for seaplane training was established in 1917 on the former RNAS Lee-on-Solent, formerly HMS Daedalus, site.
In 1935 the Lee Tower complex was built on the seafront next to the old pier and railway station. It was designed by architects Yates, Cook & Derbyshire, and comprised a white v-shaped Art Deco building with a 120-foot (37 m) tower. The complex housed a cinema, ballroom and restaurant, as well as a viewing platform at the tower's peak. The complex was demolished in 1971 by Gosport Borough Council, with its land now used for the promenade and remembrance gardens.
The views out to sea from the cliffs at Marine Parade are forever changing and are always interesting. From a vantage point on the grassy banks, it is possible to see shipping movements of large container ships and cruisers into Southampton and Portsmouth, sailing boats, ferries and of course the backdrop of the Isle of Wight. The seafront on Marine Parade East is where the Club House is situated for the Lee on the Solent Sailing Club LOSSC.
At the signal station, where the racing starts and finishes can be found a smaller galley that can provide light snacks and soft drinks for the people involved in racing or training of adults and youngsters at the weekend. It is a RYA accredited Sailing School and is open to visitors and day sailors alike. Boats can be hired if you would like to get on the water during hot summers.
On Marine Parade West main sea front stands the Commonwealth War Graves Commission's Lee-on-Solent Memorial erected to commemorate the 1,926 men of the Fleet Air Arm who died in various parts of the world in World War II and have no known grave.

UNTOUCHED ABANDONED MANSION, ENGLAND
Eyup eyup, this week we're at an amazing almost untouched abandoned mansion in the rolling hills of England. Usually these places get pretty trashed pretty quick but this one was in amazing condition.

Exploring the dilapidated ruins of civilisation, abandoned buildings, creepy theme parks, military bases, and underground vaults containing the remnants of a by gone era. And with a bit of comedy and humour chucked in there too, can't be too serious about these things.
We're not serious urban explorers, we just love the adventure.
Urban Exploration is not for kiddies. Abandoned places are dangerous. Adventures are fun.

The Solent, Portsmouth and Gosport from the air in 4K
Testing my new Mavic 2 Pro from up on the South Downs at Portsdown Hill above Portsmouth and Gosport, once again showing what a beautiful and historic place this is.
A perfect day fishing for mackerel on the Solent
The weather and sea state on the Solent were as close to perfect as is possible (8th August 2015). And so too was the fishing. The mackerel just kept jumping on the hooks. Which is great, because we really like eating mackerel. My feathers had six hooks on and for the first time ever I had six fish on six hooks. The day continued well and it was something that I repeated later. Lots of mackerel and whiting. A great day, plenty of great meals to come.
We fished a couple of hours either side of low tide, listened to England win the Ashes series and the Premier League opener of Manchester United play Tottenham Hotspur (1-0). What more could you want?

Hythe to Beaulieu - The Solent Way - Weekend Walk 38
Continuing east-west along the Solent Way, from the ferry at Hythe to the Hampshire village of Beaulieu. This is an inland stage once leaving Southampton Water, entering into the New Forest through Fawley Inclosure, Beaulieu Heath, to Hilltop, then down into the village itself on the banks of the River Beaulieu where I was sort of attacked by a goose. Disappointingly, most of the walk is along roadsides, or very near the road. I'd really like to see an alternative route for the Solent Way to the East of Beaulieu.
Apologies for the dirty image. It's not on the lense but inside the camera.
