Spitbank Fort.

[wurzel]

Anyone done Spitbank Fort yet? Somebody got this as a wedding present and we did it at the weekend?

Fantastic. It's in the Solent. It's been open for about a year and you can go out for Sunday lunch, boat out, top nosh, champange on arrival, a tour, meal and then a free run of the place. Jacuzzi, gym, sauna, lots of bars. Looks a cracking place to rent it out for a week end for a small group?

The company who owns it is doing up the other two forts as well, one to be a 24 room hotel with a helipad. Worth a look when ready.

Anyone been? and can anyone suggest something similar as this was a great day out in something different?

As a serious question: what’s the wheel chair access like?

I have fancied going but I am guessing that trying to get a wheel chair up from the boat will be a tad tricky

They have a set of metal steps up from the boat, someone would have to help up.

Once up the there is access, but not sure if the rest rooms had access they were all quite small. Plus once there it's on three levels with quite small stairs.

I would assume it doesn't have disabled access but you could phone.

One of the girls here went there earlier in the year, I think she's one of the ones in the hot tub on the website! It looks lovely and she had a great night.

And a perfect hiding place if there's a zombie war.

Zombies would be able to walk out there easily, it all depends if they could get the tides right, and have enough of a sense of direction to swim up to the surface at the right spot

I would go, but I'm afraid of tigers and Lesley Grantham.

Undecided on Melinda Messenger nowadays.

I tried to visit them by boat last summer to buy a crafty mid-solent beer, but they told me I was not allowed to tie up, and that I had to use their boat from Gunwharf Keys instead.

I think actually the puniness of my inflatable was at odds with the upper crust image they wanted to portray - I bet Abramovich's yacht would not have been refused..
