A DRUM containing potentially toxic chemicals washed ashore yesterday, leading to a section of Chouet Beach being closed off.

THE main title contenders suffered mixed fortunes in the third meeting of the Winter Championship at Chouet.

THE ‘Torrey Canyon’ quarry is again being cleaned up by Public Services.

Chouet is much more than a dumping ground and somewhere to race cars on the sand – it may have lost some of its charm, but it still has stunning views and a fascinating history, as Rob Batiste reports.

Fictional grumpy fisherman Ebenezer Le Page was perhaps Chouet’s best-known resident. But what would he have made of the area’s changes in recent times? The old Guern would not have been happy, says Rob Batiste.
