SUMMARY:Popham Hoverin - End of Season
DESCRIPTION:The Southern Branch offers –\na Late Season Hoverin at \nPOPHAM AIRFIELD\, HAMPSHIRE\, SO21 3BD\nwww.popham-airfield.co.uk\nSUNDAY 28th October 2018 \nAlthough the racing season has finished the Southern Branch members still want to use their Hovercraft this year and having booked space at Popham Airfield\, as above\, we would invite anyone else who would like to join us to do so. \n• Operating times are from 10.00 to dusk\n• This is an Ideal site for experienced and new drivers\n• Driver tuition and rides available\n• BBQ available for lunchtime. Bring what you would like to cook on it\n• Other refreshments are available in the airfield cafeteria. The all day breakfasts there are very popular\n• This event is open to both members and non-members\n• If bringing a craft that is not registered with the HCGB then please contact us first \nNote that prior registration is encouraged to save time on the day. \nDIRECTIONS – (Post code above)\nFrom the North and East – Exit the M3 at J8 onto the A303. After about two miles take the junction for Micheldever Station and then turn right (north) and go under the A303 and turn right as if you are to go back onto the A303. Go past the first junction on the left and then the airfield entrance is on your left. Don’t go too fast though as if you miss the entrance you will\, indeed\, end up back on the A303.\nFrom the South – If on the M3 you need to go to J7 and then go back onto the southbound side of the M3. Then follow the directions as above.\nFrom the North and West – From the A34 take the A303 for about two and a half miles and take the junction signposted Micheldever Station. At the “T” junction turn right and then immediately left as if to go back onto the A303. Then follow the directions above. \nOn entering the airfield\, (the entry route is shown on the Google picture) there is a short one way section of road at the end of which the road turns sharply to the right. Bear left at this point and pass through a gravelled car park onto a track going down the hill. At the bottom\, vehicles towing hovercraft can be parked on the gravel road alongside the aircraft park. To save space\, please park solo vehicles in the car park\, as indicated. YOU ARE ADVISED TO USE THIS ROUTE IN VIEW OF LOW HANGING BRANCHES OVER THE TARMAC ROAD THAT COULD PRESENT PROBLEMS FOR HIGH VEHICLES SUCH AS VANS AND MOTORHOMES. \nINTERESTED IN COMING OR WANT MORE DETAILS – PLEASE DROP AN EMAIL (OR PHONE) BOB BEECH robertf.beech@btopenworld.com or 01425 610775 or 07711 560347 \nFurther Information & Details \nMap \nSigning on Form \nBriefing Notes \n

SUMMARY:Liverpool Sailing Club Cruise
DESCRIPTION:CRUISING \nWhat is Hovercraft cruising? \nIt’s using hovercraft to explore rivers\, lakes\, beaches\, mudflats and coastlines.  It can be as relaxing or challenging as you like\, depending on the environment\, or conditions you go out in.  Members of the Hovercraft of Great Britain organise and participate in various group cruising events around the country these can range in length from a day to over a week and in numbers from 2 craft to 50. The longest running cruising event is the ‘Rhone Raid’ across France from the Med to Switzerland which has run every summer for over 20 years. \nWhat is a cruising hovercraft? \nHovercraft are essentially zero-draft boats – they don’t actually need any water at all. They can travel on land and waters into areas that boats cannot reach providing a totally unique experience for the passengers. Unlike other watercraft\, when on water it “hovers” over the water surface on a cushion of air rather than being in the water. This lack of drag reduces the power needed to drive the vehicle making them efficient on petrol. Hovercraft can also launch easily from beaches and with no propeller in the water and as they produce no wake they pose significantly less threat to marine wildlife than boats.  It is unlike any other craft and its capabilities\, limitations and low environmental impact are little understood.  \n \nRacing hovercraft are a different design to cruising hovercraft in terms of noise\, speed and marinesafety – they are unsuitable for cruising use. Cruising craft are based on sound marine engineering and provide economic\, quiet and comfortable leisure use. \n  \nWhere can I use it?  \nCruising hovercraft can be used any place that a boat can be used. They have the same navigation rights (and responsibilities!) as other watercraft. Tidal water is normally freely navigable\, you can also use rivers (only on the tidal sections without consent) or inland waterways such as lakes (consent will probably be required).  There are bylaws in certain areas that specifically ban hovercraft so check that before you take them out. \nThere are many hovercruising meetings held throughout the UK during the year where everyone is welcome (check the calendar for details). \nWhat does The Hovercraft Club of Great Britain offer for Cruisers? \nThe HCGB has a Code of Conduct for Cruising to help hovercraft pilots operate safely and considerately. \nThere are various cruising meetings held throughout the UK during the year where everyone is welcome (check the for details).  It’s a great way of meeting other hovercraft cruisers\, who will have loads of tips on great places to cruise and how to get the best out of your craft.  \nOur member’s facebook page is an easy place to connect with other cruisers who can give advice on what craft would suit your specific requirements.  \nIf you are a club member then you will find the How to find a Cruising Site guide will help you find suitable launch spots. In addition\, we provide a UK with suggested destinations and any local navigation and safety information. Many other documents are also available to members to help with water access (Environmental Impact Report\, How to Organise a Cruising event\, etc.). The HCGB provide active support to members who have access problems in their area. \nThe Hovercraft Club of Great Britain can also provide up to date information on the various different companies that can provide insurance for cruising hovercraft.  \n   \nWill it float if the engine stops? \nThere is little difference in sea handling capability between a hovercraft and a boat of similar size. In good conditions\, a boat might be able to carry a heavier load but\, as good conditions are unusual in UK waters this isn’t much of an advantage! \nThe most common question people ask about hovercraft is “will it float if the engine stops?” – the answer is YES\, cruising hovercraft have full positive buoyancy and can be safely stopped on water indefinitely (fishing and just floating around are popular activities). \nWhere can I get a cruising hovercraft? \nYou can buy a new cruising hovercraft from several UK Manufacturers – take a look at the Hovercraft Suppliers Page.  Seemingly bargain craft sometimes appear on eBay but they are best avoided unless the seller can demonstrate that it IS actually a cruising hovercraft and not just a toy! Take a look at the HCGB Buyers Guide – it contains very useful information on second hand hovercraft and some of the pitfalls to avoid when buying. \nAn alternative is to build your own hovercraft – it’s not quite as daunting as it might sound! With good plans\, components or kit it is fairly straightforward. Unless you have extensive knowledge of hovercraft we strongly recommend that you don’t try to design your own! They are more complicated than they might look! \nHow do I learn to drive a hovercraft? \nIt actually isn’t too difficult to master the basics once you get over the initial “floating around out of control” stage! Check out the which will quickly get you past the first stage and also provide you with very important safety knowledge. The also run many suitable safety courses – the most appropriate for hovercraft use are “Basic Navigation and Safety” and the “Marine Radio – (Short Range Certificate)” courses. \nCRUISE EVENTS11 Apr 2026BLACK ROCK SANDS SPRING CRUISE  APRIL 11th & 12thThe Black Rock spring cruise has been approved  by the local authorities  for 11th & 12th April .
