 This is Guernsey - News - Feature Articles - Braye du Valle
On 27 March 1811, most of the Braye du Valle was bought for £5,000 and part of it was kept by the British Government for training troops.
To celebrate the 200th anniversary of the reclamation of the Braye du Valle, the Vale Douzaine had the old sea wall cleared and with the cooperation of the landowners made the path running alongside it into a green lane.
Although now regarded as something of an expert on the Braye du Valle and having given a talk in May at a Workers' Education Association event, Rosemary is modest about her achievements and happiest when she's in the middle of a project.

 Entry to the River Seine
Braye Bay is on the north coast of Alderney, and is exposed to a reasonable east/west tidal stream in the Swinge, in contrast to the 7 mile wide southern stretch between Alderney and France called the Alderney Race, which can have tidal streams of up to 10 knots.
Incidentally, there was a major chemical spill in October, a few weeks after we transited the Swinge, when a chemical barge broke up in a storm on the Casquets, a group of shoals northwest of the Swinge, 11 miles from Alderney.
The estuary of any major river system is a complicated delta of sand bars, islands, and often several narrow channels penetrating the entrance.

The river was swollen, and a muddy torrent was roaring through the wreckage of the broken bridges at the villages.
On the bend of the river between Venezil and the mouth of the Vesle, other brigades of the 3rd Corps crossed the river by means of rafts.

The high ground both on the north and south of the river is approximately 400 feet above the bottom of the valley and is very similar in character, as are both slopes of the valley itself, which are broken into numerous rounded spurs and re-entrants.
The section of the Bridging Train allotted to the Third Corps began to arrive in the neighbourhood of Soissons late in the afternoon, when an attempt to throw a heavy pontoon bridge at Soissons had to be abandoned, owing to the fire of the enemy's heavy howitzers.
The relieved brigades were brought back alternately south of the river, and, with the artillery of the 6th Division, formed a general reserve on which I could rely in case of necessity.

 Geology of Brownsea Island - Field Trip Guide .
At that time the local rivers such as the Frome and the Piddle were just the upper reaches of a major English Channel river system that fed into an extension of the River Seine off the French Coast (northwest of Le Havre).
The main river in the local region was the Solent River which collecting the Frome, the Piddle, the Stour, the Avon and other minor streams extended eastward around the northern part of the Isle of Wight.
The river flowing here was probably originally connected to the Solent River system but at some time in the late Pleistocene it was captured by a south-flowing river in what is now Poole Bay and this river crossed the Chalk ridge.
