Cowes - The Home of Sailing

http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=3953137


Cowes is the home of Sailing, with its August Cowes Week a mecca for the rich and famous.

This circuit, which would be Britains Monaco, would have tight windy sections through the narrow town centre, including a (5 metre) tunnel.

It would flow through the Yacht Haven like the Piscine & Anthony Nolan sections of Monaco and repeat this again through Sheppards Wharf opposite the Iconic GKN Union Flag.
Then the route will follow the main A road out of town through to the BAE Systems Radar site. Lots of open Brown belt here, so a dedicated start finish straight and pits complex can be built here (especially as BAE are trying to sell this land)
Then it goes up another wide industrial road and through a business park before following a new section across some council owned sports fields and joining the main road back into Cowes and using the wide tarmac carpark at Northwood House to end the lap before plunging back down into the town centre.

Alas this will never be possible due to NIMBY attitudes and a lack of ambition.


Could earn millions for the Island
