Different Tractors on the Island of Sark

All the makes and models of tractors which I saw on the Island of Sark in the Channel Islands when I visited in August 2009. Sark has no cars, motor bikes or trucks. It only has tractors, bicycles and horse and carriages and the people of Sark have to prove they need a tractor for work purposes before they are allowed to have one.

Imagine having a heart attack or being in labour and that ambulance arrives Although having an area of 5.45 square km  I don't suppose anywhere is very far away!

LOL, There is no hospital on Sark though, only a Doctor. I can't remember why but when I saw it it did have a patient on board on an "emergency". It was going down to the harbour because the patient had to be taken on the slow ferry to the hospital on Guernsey where I live. Thats six miles away by ferry and not necessarily a calm trip. I certainly would not want to need hospital treatment whilst I was there, LOL.

For pregnant women, up to about 40 or so years ago, you could have the baby on the island, but now they you like you to stay in guernsey a week before the baby is due. But some women just stay in sark and when they start going into labour they just hop on the boat and get there in their own time. But if there is someone who is very ill, a helicopter can land on the island to take the to gurnsey.
