Good morning everyone
The Jersey Government have new COVID restrictions that are coming in that will affect tours for December. I am waiting for the inevitable temporary close down order and the even more inevitable "there is no support available at this time" As soon as I get an update I will reach out to all booked in. Hopefully the numbers drop soon and it's only a temporary situation and not a lengthy lockdown.
Below I have set up a digital tour of the German WW2 M19 Automatic Fortress Mortar and interconnected Sechsschartentürm Heavy MG Turret Bunker. This is found at Strongpoint Corbiere (Aerial above)
Hope you all have a great day.
Cheers
Phil
