Page needs update.

Read everything carefully and then contact the host via WhatsApp for a deposit payment and seat Reservation. Deposit payment is £1 now.

WE did this event 3 times last year and it was a great success.

This event has been posted on 3 different meetup groups. So we will get more people joining this event.

We are going to see the baby Seals at NORFOLK beach.

Event Details:

Not bringing a camera will be a huge mistake.

LET'S GO SEE THE BABY SEALS!

Norfolk is THE Best place where you can see Baby Seals in the UK.

November to February is the peak of the season when the beaches between Horsey and Winterton are home to some 5000 seals.

Norfolk holds the world's two largest Atlantic grey seals colonies and I am taking you there. You will be able to observe at often just a couple of meters away the seals who come to these sandy beaches every year to give birth to those gorgeous white furry creatures.

We will be able to observe seals of different ages. From the tiny few hours old white pups, to the full fat adolescents and up to the big males who weigh hundreds of kilos and who will be fighting a bit further down on the sand. Volunteers will be there to answer all our questions and to keep us from getting too close to those beautiful creatures, often unsuccessfully as those cubs being of a curious nature will approach us often far too close to inspect us.

The seals will be the highlight of our trip but this will certainly not be all to see.

We will hike the dunes of the Broads nature reserve and visit the stunning surrounding villages.

We will hike around 7 miles, 4 miles will be right next to these absolutely gorgeous creatures, that will be your choice, they will be all over the place.

Be prepared to take an alternative route for a few minutes if the mothers and pubs make their way to the path. They usually stay on the beach but the recent storm have driven them in the dunes and on the path meaning that, if you get too close, you better get ready to run cause mummies protect their pups.

Babies will be wandering alone around us, they will come towards you but please, please, I cannot stress enough, do not touch them and step back as the mother will abandon them if you do.

Transport:

We will be travelling by coach to make the journey faster and cheaper and more direct. Saves you time and money. Last year we did this event 4 times. And It was a great success. So trust me when I say by coach it's both faster and cheaper than using public transport.

ATTENTION:

Our trips will not be cancelled due to weather conditions so please ensure that you do wear and carry appropriate clothing for the weather forecast. A raincoat is advised. It will not rain all day. We might get 30 minutes of rain. Volume of rainfall expected is more important than probability of rainfall. 100% probability of rainfall doesn't mean it will be raining all day. Might get 1 hour of rainfall then it stops. But if heavy rainfall is predicted then we may cancel or reschedule the event.
