Paddleboarding for me is a way to be active on my doorstep, enjoying the beautiful nature around us.Karl has been doing it for decades, and the Hamble feels like home to him.

According to Tom Peterken, a data scientist for Ordnance Survey, the source of the six-mile long (10km) river is the Sand Boils, or Boiling Sands, in Bishop's Waltham.He also tells me there are about 350 different places "where a stream of some sort begins, which eventually feeds the Hamble".But we join the water at Botley Mills, where the river becomes navigable. Tide times are key as we enter the shallow stretch of the waterway.

According to data from the Office for National Statistics, there are 19,000 people who live within 100m (328ft) of the Hamble system.As well as homes there are businesses on its banks too, including the not-so-secret Hidden Tap pub.

The friendly face of Rob Sanderson peers over the wall on the riverbank to lower down a drinks order using a handy pulley system.

He has seen traffic on the waterway, such as paddleboarders and canoeists, increase since the pandemic.The terrified woman told the man to hide in her bedroom wardrobe as Hinsley kicked and smashed his way through the front door, the court heard.

Hinsley pursued the pair upstairs and pulled a knife out of his pocket which he then used to repeatedly stab the man.He also swung the blade at his former partner, and she was convinced he would have stabbed her in the lung if her friend had not pushed her out of the way, Mr Faulks said.

The male victim suffered wounds to his face and shoulder, including an injury close to his eye, before Hinsley, who started filming the victim on his phone, fled the property, the court heard.As he left he smashed a TV in the woman's bedroom, Mr Faulks said.
