Last night I took my colony of Beavers to visit the New Wightlink ferries that are in Lymington, they are not yet operational but we kindly went on board to check out the new facilities and to see what we thought.

The Beavers were split into three groups and we got to tour the new engine rooms (much bigger than the older ferry), visit the lounge, see the fire fighting equipment, try the life jackets and go to the Bridge. The view down the river was sooo much better than the old ferry!

The Beavers throughly enjoyed the expereince which will count towards their Adventure Award.

The leaders who attended were impressed too with the considerations that had been made towards keeping other boat users safe and were particularily impressed with the stopping distances.

Thank you to Wightlink for having us visit!
