I'm kind of boggled that you ended up in Gosport, but I have the prejudices of someone who lived in Portsmouth until I could escape at 18. I grew up with it being a transport black hole (the ferry is all well and good if the weather is ok, and you're in the city, getting there from the suburbs is a nightmare though) and its only redeeming feature was that it had an icerink, and Portsmouth didn't. Glad you all had fun though, hopefully I'll be back one year in the not too distant future!
