I have had a not passed over from our friends at Wakefield’s RSPB Members’ Group who are running a coach trip to the Farne Islands in Northumberland. They are offering the opportunity for any of our members to join them on the coach. The details are as follows:<\/p>\n
The Farne Islands host England\u2019s most spectacular seabird colony including unrivalled views of 23 species including thousands of puffin. There is also a large colony of grey seals. The islands have historical and religious significance with links to Celtic Christianity and St Cuthbert.<\/span><\/p>\n We will meet at Holmfield House car park (free parking) by Clarence Park on Denby Dale Road for departure at 07 30. The plan is to journey up to Seahouses by coach with a stop at the services en route.<\/span><\/p>\n We will be taking a boat from Seahouses for an extended trip around the islands, landing on Inner Farne where we will spend a couple of hours before the return journey. There will be plenty of opportunities for bird photography and expect fantastic views of the nesting seabirds. The plan is to return to Seahouses for 4 30pm with a chance to get some fish and chips before setting off for Wakefield.<\/span><\/p>\n The cost of the trip will be \u00a320 for the coach \u00a316 for the boat trip plus the landing fee – expected to be \u00a37.40 \u00a0(free to National Trust members). Places are limited so early booking is recommended.\u00a0 A deposit of \u00a35 is payable when booking.<\/span><\/p>\n Paul Disken<\/span> I have had a not passed over from our friends at Wakefield’s RSPB Members’ Group who are running a coach trip to the Farne Islands in Northumberland.
