Gosport from the air - Forton Lake (1)
Notice the kids playing on the Vadne (the ferryboat just visible above the windowledge). Not meaning to sound like one of those old people who moans on about youths (I am one myself - youth that is), but I despise people doing that. I don't know why they go about ruining the place. The kids on there during the Forton Project were decent though, I think one of them on seeing us shouted "Run for it!".
But then in 40, 50 years time undoubtedly someone will come along and do another project on the hulks at Forton Lake and ask local residents, do you remember playing on these boats? And of course, if that happens these kids and a whole load of others will say yes. So it can't be all that bad.
By the way, if anyone does have any memories, please don;t hesitate to a)email me and b) say. It'll be a great help to not only me but also for the project.
