• Robin Hill is running its popular Spirit of the Orient between the 11th and 18th February. Route 8 will take you there.

• Wrap up warm, and take a trip to Southampton with Red Funnel Ferries. Our sister service Bluestar can take you across the region. How about a trip to Winchester or to the New Forest.
