r/Hampshire

When most people think of Hampshire, they think of wealth, beautiful gardens, stately homes, Winchester etc and for the most part a lot of Hampshire is like this, however, how come Portsmouth and Southampton are so vastly different and almost like an entirely different county?

Hi,

I’m starting an OCD support group for Southampton as we don’t have one, and want to find fellow OCD sufferers striving to live a better life with the disorder.

If you have OCD or know anyone who could benefit from a having a supportive group

Contact me at:

Or Facebook group: OCDSouthampton

Thankyou.

Hi everyone,
I recently completed a foundation fly fishing course at Nether Wallop Mill and absolutely loved it. I’d really like to get into the sport properly, but I’m struggling to find anywhere to fish regularly.

I live in Winchester and most of the places I’ve found are either fully booked, extremely expensive, or operate on a mandatory catch-and-keep basis.
Can anyone recommend any beginner-friendly waters or clubs where I can fish regularly without breaking the bank? Ideally I’m looking for catch-and-release fishing, and I don’t mind driving up to an hour from Winchester.

I’m open to rivers, lakes, clubs or fisheries—I’d just like somewhere I can build my skills without spending £80–100 every time I go.
Any recommendations would be hugely appreciated. Thanks! 🎣

Hi,

Very short notice but does anyone know of any stores that might sell glasses for the eclipse tomorrow? Been looking since Saturday, when I found out that was happening, and can’t find any.

Any help would be really appreciated.

Thanks
