Channel Islands - Alderney

[Mr Panda]

Berluddy teenagers!

Anyone familiar with Alderney - one of my daughters is working there over the summer and is panicking about how much stuff she's gonna have to take over - as if there's no shops :roll:

I'm guessing all mod cons will be available on the island and she'll be able to buy all normal domestic goodies - such as bedding (which at the moment she's planning on taking with her :roll: )

Large cargo boat on standby - which I don't want to pay for.

So, Alderney - what's there then ?

Alderney is one of the Channel Islands. Not a bad island that said there are daily ferry boats to Guernsey which is like a seaside resort but a big one so no problem there either with shops or shopping. I used to get all my stuff off guernsey then take it over. If it's a hotel summer season job most of those place provide linen but worth checking with the employer first

I lived on little sark for a while and regulary used the daily taxi boat to Guernsey

If she is flying direct to alderney it will likely be from southampton where she can shop before flying

I travel there for work twice a year, to service the only x-ray system on the island!
I love it there. It is tiny, but most things can be bought in the shops there.
Some lovely free-range produce there too

I'm not sure that's what Mr P wants to be hearing about somewhere his daughter is spending the summer

What is is that she's going over there to do? Tell her to go check out Fort Clonque.... http://www.landmarktrust.org.uk/Buildin ... rt_Clonque
Amazing place. I've been looking into booking it for a long weekend later this year.
