Courses For Horses

This time on Crapaudmatic... I was at Les Landes and thought it was an opportune moment to have a nosey around the racing (here on the map) ...





Sideways on, the new stand which is a grassed slope on top for spectators.







Looking down the finishing straight, south-west-ish.






.. and right of ahead, the first bend... with Grosnez Castle in the distance...






.. closer.. and some islands or other :)







.. closer yet.






First bend again.

Well maintained grass track.







To the right, off the side/back of the stand is the parade ring...







.. and a marquee for an upcoming event.

Sorel Point visible in the distance...




.. closer.

It's a bit blotchy due to all the heat haze at that range...





.. as is the airport...







.. Corbiere headland...








.. and lighthouse.
