Yachts moored near Bursledon station	Marina near Bursledon station	Looking up river from the A27 road bridge. The railway bridge can clearly be seen with the M27 motorway bridge visible just beyond it	Looking down river	Shore of the River Hamble, looking towards Bursledon
Most of the footpath along the Eastern shore of the River Hable is maintained to an excellent standard like this; it is just a shame that there is no footpath on the other side of the river	Various boats moored near the Universal Marina	Yachts moored at the Universal Marina	A blue telephone box! As well as the various plasticky-looking modern yachts, there are a few more interesting boats here too	Houseboats moored on the River Hamble. For some reason, a life on the water has always appealed to me.
While the yellow Houseboat on the lefts looks like a wooden shed built on top of a barge, the larger Houseboat to its right is simply beautiful and knocks spots off the samey plastic yachts. It's also the largest vessel I saw while on my walk.	Yachts	More yachts	More yachts...	Looking downriver
Marshes beside the footpath. The path itself is on a 'causeway' which separates these marshes from the river itself.	The path	A look back at those Houseboats	More yachts...	Junk
Shipwreck! This is the most complete wreck I spotted although there are various others in worse states of repair, most of which would be submerged at high tide.	Remains of a ship	The shipwreck	More yachts...	Looking downriver
More yachts	A look back along the path	Marshland beside the footpath	More shipwrecks	Shipwreck
