Infrastructure

Description   

La Coupee is an Isthmus that connects Little Sark to the main island.
The walk across can seem a little daunting due to the steep drops either side but the rails make it very safe. Cycles must be walked across not ridden but you can't help but stop halfway and admire the stunning scenery.

Tasks.

There are three tasks. First, take two selfies with the Coupee in the background...
One from the published coordinates , N49 25.212 W002 21.987
and one from ... N49 25.267 W002 21.941
Finally, stop and read the plaque at N49 25.251 W002 21.955 you will find a 3 digit number which is the password to log a find.

Enjoy the adventure, we look forward to seeing your photos.

Today our walking group took the ferry to Sark and of course a visit to La Coupée was on the program. Once there, we had some free time to explore the place. First we took care of this virtual cache, took the pictures and wrote down the number. And then we admired the wild nature.

Mousekiller, thank you for this virtual cache

Found The geocache is in good or acceptable condition. 03 October 2022 j-he found the geocache

2 weeks vacation with the Channel Islands! This tenth day of the trip was the second full day on Guernsey. But to be exact, I spend the majority of the day not on Guernsey, but instead on Sark. I had booked tickets for the ferry at 8 and rented a bike on Sark to get as many caches there, as I could, and see as much of the island as possible on the way.
Time was running faster than I had hoped, and so I had to hurry towards Little Sark, after spending more time than expected in the north, center and west of Sark.
Of course La Coupée was a highlight. I took the requested photos on the way back from Little Sark.
Thanks for creating this virtual!
