Two Rivers TravelBlog

Our April 2008 coach trip from Reading, Berkshire to Hythe and Lyndhurst in Hampshire was blessed with fine weather and hazy sunshine.

A compact waterfront town, Hythe has attractive buildings and pedestrianised main streets. The market is held next to the church yard and is just a short walk from The Strand.

Here’s a view of the town centre, plus a shot of Queen Mary II in Southampton Docks taken from Hythe waterfront.

An early lunch allowed us to take a leisurely drive through the New Forest via Beaulieu and Lymington - enjoying the glorious Spring colours on the way - before spending the afternoon at Lyndhurst.

Our first Two Rivers Travel Day Out of 2008 was from Reading, Berkshire to Gosport - an historic naval town on the Hampshire coast with a market held in the pedestrianised high street.

Arriving at Gosport on a bracing - but bright - March day, our passengers set off to explore town and market, and everyone came back smiling. The power of retail therapy!

Here’s a view of nearby Portsmouth taken from the front at Gosport, plus a photo of Y14 HMC on its first day in public service sporting Two Rivers Travel red and yellow livery. The striking colours certainly turned a few heads!
