Crapaudvision Sport : Rally @ avenue

A bit of rallying for you, as I had all this video clips I thought I might as well glue them together before I delete them. Enjoy, if you like motorsport ...

Best handbrake turn I actually caught:

Waterfront from Mt Cambrai


As a casual exercise of what can be seen from there, I took a quick snap, stopping briefly on the road, and accidently caught a bird in flight :)






Closer, a 'crop' of the area doomed to be over-developed into a Finance Quarter against the wishes of everyone I've ever mentioned it to...






.. another selection from the same pic, showing the eyesore building already dominating the area.

"Well it's Jersey, Jim, but not as you know it, not as you know it..."

View west from Fort Ramparts

(and no big wheel required!)

Here's the wide view from the ramparts, taking in the delights of the Steam Clock, "West of Albert" urban sprawl and underpass, the tunnel entrance, Weighbridge Area, Liberation Square, the "Island Site" and bus station, Esplanade etc.



The statue area in Liberation Square, and the old abattoir area behind (being renovated into a shopping mall).






It's not great, but better than the waste of time sunken road they're planning.






Delightful Jersey charm.








New blocks on land where the corner of the beach used to be.









The Esplanade and start of Victoria Avenue...






.. if this area feels like a "concrete desert"... it's because it is!
