Le Touquet runway orientation?

[MrBlues]

First time posting, so hope I've got correct forum for this question.

Le Touquet chart dated 11/12/2014 downloaded yesterday from https://www.sia.aviation-civile.gouv.fr shows runway 13/31.

However the airfield website Infos AERO | Aéroport Le Touquet Côte d'Opale states orientation is 14/32

Google Earth and recent YouTube videos of landings there confirm runway markings as 14/32.

Am I missing something?

Thanks in advance for any clarification.

The airport has been closed for a week while they dug up the runway, turned it by 8 degrees then reburied it.

Or perhaps, it could be they adjusted for change in the magvar...
Always use the most recent information. Which generally does not include Google Earth and the like.

At L2K you can still see the old fainted paintings of the old orientation.

runway 13/31

We were so relieved when we were able to re-designate from 13/31 to 12/30.
Little do they know what they are in for .....especially there!

At Woodford they have dug up the runway but not not relaid it. Just put rubble on it and are removing the old top coat by lorry.

Whatever it is (13/31 or 14/32), runway orientation is always subject to heavy crosswinds at LFAT :-)

In the good old days LFAT had a cross runway....They then dug it up!

Yes, the good old days of LFAT. When they had two runways (which were roughly at 90 degrees to one another) one was concrete and the other was tarmac. Even on my 6th or 7th visit there I had to really think hard about which was the runway in use. For some reason I always got confused between the two.
But I was relieved one day to realise I was not on my own when an English pilot made three attempts to approach the wrong runway and the controller was getting excited. In the end in desperation he told the pilot to land on the black runway.

I was vert disapointed to see the short runway closed, about twenty years back I went to Le Touquet, the weather was overcast at 600 ft, rain and the wind put the long runway out of limits by a lot.

A very fast and turbulent trip down the ILS and a circle to land on to the short runway was the order of the day........... the Perard lobster never tasted so good !

Last time I was there (about six weeks since) it was 13/31 and boasted a sporting cross-wind

14/32 was Le Touquet - Paris-Plage. Le Touquet - Côte d’Opale is 13/31.
