Author Topic: Info on Punting in the South West  (Read 776 times)

I have a new job and will be spending quite a lot of time away from home staying in hotels in different parts of the Country. So I'm creating a series of HL for each Town/City I'm likely to be visiting. I won't be punting on every visit as I can't afford that but I'd like to keep a HL for most towns so when I do get to visit at short notice |I don't have to do lots of research without which I usually end up with a crap punt.

I will be posting the same message in several of the regional forums so you might well see the same message several times.

In the South West I will be visiting the following towns:
Exeter
Bournemouth
Southampton
Portsmouth

What I'm hoping to get is recommendations for each of these towns and your view as to what the punting landscape is like in each of these towns. i.e. are there lots of good SPs so it's easy to arrange a good punt at short notice or are there very few good SPs but lots of punters. I'm not going to have a lot of time for research so would rather avoid spending time trying to find a good SP in a punting desert if the next place I move onto has a plethora of good SPs. I hope that makes sense.

I'm pretty vanilla in my tastes. GFE, DFK, OWO, CIM, RO mainly.

Thanks for your help and advice in advance!

Hi, not being pedantic at all but I think I'm correct in saying that only Bournemouth and Exeter are classed as the South  West. You might have more joy posting in possibly the South East for the other two.

When I know I have a business trip coming up, half the fun is researching the local talent that is normally out of reach.

I don't want to be unhelpful but I will not make recommendations. I'll generally review the SP's I've seen and you'll have make do with those. My likes and dislikes are not going to be the same as yours.
