the road has bollards from the trafic lights
which at nights get put up to block traffic
i think the bridge bit may have them too,not sure
but traffic is allowed through in the day.

 :)Thats exactly what I mean, so if you are coming down the road behind the front, ie, the back of The Harem, Bella Mamas etc, you cant do a left, you have to turn round and go all of the way back, I know the dirt track road is open, but its coming the other way I wanted to know about,  Hope that makes sense. ;)

Wonderful epigram. Could well become an established proverb alongside "Sweet words butter no parsnips", "Too many cooks spoil the broth" and "Many hands make light work". Might consider it for my headstone.

The bollards aren't where they are on that picture anymore, they are outside B52 so if you're driving along the back of bella mamma's and harem you can still go over the bridge and then turn left along the dirt road that goes past Golden Moon, or right to the little car park that will take you to opposite Scarletts or if you go further it brings you out by the Aqua Park.

Yep, being where they are makes it a bit easier to park in Calis! I wonder what would happen if you parked on the main strip before 5pm then didn't move your car in time lol?!

Thanks for that Jenny.I was in Calis earlier this year and remember that the bollards were at the end of the bridge viz the end nearest the promenade,not outside B52.I didn't want to say anything before,as I thought I had it wrong in my mind.Anyway,I was a bit concerned about the metal pathway on the bridge as it is now full of small holes.Looks to me that high heels will be difficult on that part of the bridge.Maybe I should wear my crocs:D
