Father and sons paddle from Southampton to Brighton (From Daily Echo)

Could somebody kindly explain to me how someone who is travelling by canoe from Southampton, past Portsmouth and on to Brighton is moving in a westward direction?

Somebody in the office got there map and compass round the wrong way, I wonder how they get home?

Perhaps they are paddling backwards?

We where all so busy reading about glamorous granny’s and 4 inch screws we must have missed the poles swapping. I knew it was due to happen soon but not that soon. Does that now make us the poor ones in the north south divide?

I'm sure that southy will soon explain that you have to go west first just to get of the river bank. Only a foot or two but it's still west.

wow some people over analyse stories abit. I'm sure any creatin on here could understand when you stand looking out at the sea in southampton by the coast, to the left is brighton (so west?).
Bit sad how people focused on that, rather than the actual story of two men doing something positive for charity. Supose losers on here believe they are journalists in their small little failure of a life. Get real and keep to commenting on sites like hmv or itune where you purchased the new x factor c.d
