The stunningly beautiful Channel Island of Sark is famous for two things; for being an exceedingly dodgy tax haven* and for cars being banned. Whilst the latter situation seemingly implies some kind of ruritanian idyll, the reality is slightly less romantic. As cars aren’t allowed, the residents instead all own big noisy smelly tractors and use them to get around everywhere, instead. Oh well, there’s no such place as paradise. And tractors make great shuttle vehicles for lugging kayakers and their gear around…
*In the late 90s, there were 575 residents and over 23,000 companies registered on Sark.
