We headed to Portsmouth / Southsea for the Great South Run; 10 miles along the coast of the Solent - however Storm Ashley had other ideas and the event had to be cancelled for safety reasons - it was due to be combined with a tidal storm surge that would have taken out a chunk of the course.

Grey skies, but the Isle of Wight Ferry always runs...
