    Did some of this today. Got lost as I said. You don't show the start of the walk from the Aero Car Park.

    • @ExploreTheWeekendUK
      @ExploreTheWeekendUK День тому

      We had so much footage from the walk that lots needed to be trimmed out, and the short walk from the car park to the main road didn't make the cut. The map (in description) isn't the greatest but does provide a useful visual reference for the route.

    Not Airport trail signs. Not very clear in places. Also overgrown vegetation needs cutting back.

    • @ExploreTheWeekendUK
      @ExploreTheWeekendUK День тому

      It was quite leafy when we went earlier in the year, so can imagine it being overgrown in the summer. Not sure how much of the trail is actively managed!

    the War Tunnels "Hohlgangsanlage 8" is one of many German tunnel systems that was built/being built for ammunition storage by the Germans on the island. after D-DAY it was turned into an underground hospital, as the German hospital was above ground located near Springfield football pitch in town. after D-DAY the Germans was not getting any food supplies from France, so they had to forage for food, fish, collect sea food like limpets, winkles etc to survive. this led to the Germans being ordered to do 4hr shifts and to save their energy. this is why most of the dummy's are lay in bed, to portray how it would have been. if you are impressed with Damien's bunker museum, you should see what he keeps at his farm house. he has enough items to fill the bunker 3 times over. he also owns a Stoewer Kfz 1, which is a radio car that was stationed on the Island and is 4 wheel drive. but the best thing about it is that the back wheels can steer like the front. meaning it can do a U-turn in the middle of a street if needed.

      Wow, thanks for the insight!! And what an awesome collection he has, sounds like he needs to add another bunker to his collection to help display it all!!

    of course me, being a dumb Yank, hadn't heard of Sark. 🙂no cars. how do the islanders get their supplies? from the ferry, obviously, but once the ferry drops them off, how do they get to the shops, homes, etc? hang on, that was a tractor that I just saw! and later on, a truck! so, no cars but yes to tractors and at least one truck?. ok, well, that probably answers my question about delivery of supplies! 🙂 talk about action filming on the bike! that one man invasion attempt was probably the most excitement the local bobby had in years!

    • @ExploreTheWeekendUK
      @ExploreTheWeekendUK 18 днів тому

      Ah eagle eyes!! It looks like Sark has quite a few different ferries throughout the day bringing passengers/supplies etc, and most islanders had some sort of tractor or truck with which to get around. The lack of any tourist vehicles makes the island such a peaceful and pleasant place to be! We've just updated the description with a link to a bit more history about the prison/the one man invasion, explaining it much better than we can! On some websites, the chap even tried again the following year?! Determined!

    • @archezbecray
      @archezbecray 11 днів тому

      The only motorised vehicles on Sark are the tractors, E-Bikes and Mobility scooters, no trucks.

    Best explore of Sark I've seen, very enjoyable thank you. They need to service their hire bikes better though for sure lol.

    • @ExploreTheWeekendUK
      @ExploreTheWeekendUK 18 днів тому

      Thanks for the kind words! With the bikes getting so much use it's not surprising that they've all go their little issues, but A to B cover this off with an island wide breakdown service included in the hire price. Not sure about the other rental shops, but A to B certainly get the thumbs up from us!

    joining you from the U.S. I like that you actually either speak or post wording on the screen to explain what is going on. most touring videos are just people walking and saying nothing, and I'm left wondering "what is that" or "what's going on here". I have subscribed to your channel as well!
