Norfolk SEAL PUPS, Britain's most magical wildlife spectacular!

Sat, Nov 14, 7:00 AM

From Jon's Trails

4.9

It is this time of the year again and I am taking you on a journey into a world of cuteness where not carrying your camera will not be allowed. LET'S GO SEE THE BABY SEALS! ATTENTION, BOOKINGS WILL CLOSE A WEEK BEFORE DEPARTURE AND IT IS ON A FIRST COME FIRST SERVE BASIS as this trip is limited to 12 people. Due to the popularity of this trip I have decided to do it again. Norfolk is THE place where you can see one of Britain's most fantastic show; the grey seal breeding season. 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 metres away the 7000 seals that come to these sandy beaches every year to give birth to those gorgeous white furry creatures. You will not get enough of it, believe me. We will be able to observe seals of every ages from the tiny few hours old white pups, to the full fat adolescents and up to the big males who weight 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 or trip but will not be our only journey as we will hike the dunes of Norfolk which are home to a pair of barn owl and where shorties spend the winter. We meet at 08.00 am at Liverpool Street station, and off we go, we should be back in London by 9.30pm. Due to other commitments, I can only do this one trip to Norfolk this year so book your spot asap if you want to see the cutie balls of fur. As always we will grab a meal at the end of the trip before we head back to London with a few hundred photos. I have a professional camera and will share it with you. We will not rush for this trip, we will stop for plenty of photos so if you are coming for a hardcore hike I would not recommend. There are no dogs allowed on this trip I am afraid for obvious reasons. Attention, this is a whole day out, we should be back after 9pm, I cannot change the train time. TRANSPORT: VIA train and bus (about 3 hours) COST: £ 75 I tried to keep it as cheap as possible but the train prices went up as well as buses and in this case my costs too. The fee is refundable up to 2 weeks before departure and non-refundable after that, but you may resell and you can try to find someone to take your place. INCLUDED: Guided hike Fast train to Norfolk and back and a short bus journey A great time with lovely people NOT INCLUDED: Food and drinks Anything not mentioned above WHAT TO BRING: Waterproof shoes for the hike, preferably hiking shoes, otherwise good trainers Weather appropriate clothes Water bottle; MEETING POINT: Liverpool Street Station. At 7am A WHATSAPP GROUP WILL BE CREATED A FEW DAYS BEFORE DEPARTURE WITH MORE INFO. ATTENTION: Our trips will not be cancelled due to weather conditions so please ensure that you do wear and carry appropriate clothing. 😄 POLICIES: 1: This group is designed for the pleasure and enjoyment of all of us, we do not accept any derogatory comments or behaviours towards anyone. Racism, discrimination and other unacceptable behaviours will only lead to your rejection to any of our trips and this without exception. Everyone is welcome, we have religious and non-religious people, gay, straight, bisexual people, all shades and colours or nationality, people of all ages, sex and political believes and mutual respect is the fundamental spirit of this group. 2: Our trips are only refundable up to 14 days before departure, if you wish to cancel after that, you will be offered a transfer to another trip for the same price or you may resell your slot to somebody else. 3: If we do cancel the entirety of the trip on our side, you will be fully refunded 4:In the eventuality that our trains are delayed, or cancelled which is out of my control, I do not pay for taxis or alternative route, if this happens, you will be able to claim delay repay from the train companies who will reimburse your train ticket and some eventual costs occurred. By signing up to my events, you agree to this.

🐑 Романтика Котсуолда

From Туры по Англии

Местечко Cotswold знаменито средневековыми деревушками, сказочными домиками 🏡, красивейшими садами 🌸, бескрайними лугами 🌾 и постройками трехсотлетней давности — все это привлекает желающих посмотреть на «старую добрую Англию» из романов и кино 🎬. Этот район, площадь которого составляет 970 квадратных миль, также именуют Котсуолдскими холмами или Котсуолдской заповедной зоной, растянувшейся между четырьмя известными городами — Оксфордом, Глостером, Батом и Стратфордом-на-Эйвоне 🗺️. Cotswold – настоящее «сердце Англии» ❤️ с присущими ему старинными традициями и консерватизмом. Размеренный темп жизни замечательно подходит для неторопливых прогулок 🚶‍♂️, во время которых можно насладиться тишиной и покоем сельской жизни 🌿, побродить по старинным улочкам, заглянуть в местные мини-магазинчики в поисках антиквариата и оригинальных мелких сувениров 🎁, а также посидеть в традиционных пабах 🍺 и чайных 🫖. Здесь каждый домик местных жильцов достоин внимания: все как один символизируют собой ту типичную Англию, которая существовала примерно 300-400 лет назад. Современность ничуть не затронула этот уголок – единый стиль зданий из известняка в сочетании с густой зеленью, глициниями и розами 🌹 словно остался в прошлых веках ✨. Lower Slaughter и Upper Slaughter — одни из самых красивых нетронутых деревень Котсуолда 🏞️. По одной из версий, Slaughter берет свое название от англосаксонского слова *slough*, которое означает «грязное место». Возможно, когда-то оно таким и было, но сейчас это милая и чистая деревушка, разделенная на две части живописным ручьем 🌊. Главной достопримечательностью Lower Slaughter является Старая мельница ⚙️, которая функционирует с 1086 года по сей день. Upper Slaughter окружена дорогой, которую можно пройти за 20 минут. Основные достопримечательности деревни — это церковь Святого Петра (St. Peter’s Church) ⛪, главная усадьба (зайти внутрь можно только в летние месяцы) и роскошная гостиница Lords of the Manor 🏰. Snowshill — спрятанная в Котсуолдских холмах тихая деревушка 📍 с красивой викторианской церковью, где типичные медово-каменные коттеджи живут по соседству с поместьем Snowshill и его очаровательным садом 🍃. Snowshill Manor and Garden является национальным достоянием Англии, где хранится уникальная коллекция игрушек 🧸, эксцентричные предметы мебели 🪑 и музыкальные инструменты Чарльза Уэйда 🎻. Broadway — главная улица милой деревни усыпана магазинчиками, пабами и чайными, но настоящее чудо начинается после них – там, где появляются жилые дома 🏡✨. Ни в одной другой деревне Котсуолдса не найти столько симпатичных домиков! Всего в одной миле от деревни, на высоте 312 метров над уровнем моря, находится Бродвейская башня 🏰. Если повезет подняться на смотровую площадку в ясный день, то с ее верхушки откроется вид на территорию, охватывающую 100 километров в радиусе 🌅. В завершение дня мы посетим один из самых маленьких, но, возможно, самых красивых ликероводочных заводов Англии — Cotswolds Distillery 🥃. Здесь производят лучшие ремесленные виски, джин и ликер по традиционным технологиям 🏺, а магазины и дегустационные залы больше напоминают уютный коттедж, где можно расположиться у дровяного камина 🔥 и познакомиться с выдающимися крепкими напитками 🥂. Мы отправляемся в романтическое путешествие по очаровательным сельским пейзажам и средневековым деревенькам, в которых царит совершенно особая атмосфера ✨, манящая своей первозданностью. Ведь основная красота Англии спрятана в ее окрестностях! 🇬🇧❤️ 📝 План поездки: 📍**08:45** **Встреча** у отеля **[Hotel Novotel London West](https://goo.gl/maps/WJDJWDLm2jQ2)**, 1 Shortlands, W6 8DR (рядом с Hammersmith Station) 📍11:00 — 12:30 Деревни Lower Slaughter и Upper Slaughter 📍13:00 — 14:15 Деревня Snowshill, паб для кружки эля [Snowshill Arms](http://www.snowshillarms.co.uk/) 📍14:30 — 16:15 Деревня Broadway, обед (бронируйте заранее, например, [Flipside](http://www.flipsideburgers.uk/) [или другие](https://www.google.com/maps/search/%D0%BA%D0%B0%D1%84%D0%B5/@52.0353514,-1.8606339,16.25z)) 📍16:30 — 17:00 Ликероводочный завод [Cotswolds Distillery](https://www.cotswoldsdistillery.com/) 📍17:00 Отправление 📍19:00 London, Hammersmith 👣 Продолжительность путешествия зависит от погодных условий и дорожных пробок. ✅ Включено в стоимость: ⚜️ Аудиогид на русском ⚜️ Тур-менеджер, говорящий на русском и английском языках ⚜️ Транспорт, организация мероприятия ⚜️ Профессиональный водитель с наградой RoSPA Gold ⚜️ Администрация и помощь во время путешествия ⚜️ НДС и все налоги, комиссия платежной системы (карта/банк/PayPal) ❌ Не включено: ❌ Входные билеты: цены указаны в плане путешествия ❌ Питание во время путешествия: индивидуальный выбор ❌ Трансфер в место встречи и после завершения поездки ❌ Остановки автобуса для посадки/высадки пассажиров по пути следования ❌ [Страховка](https://www.coverwise.co.uk/) в случае травм, потери багажа и личных вещей, отмены тура в последнюю минуту ❌ [Evebus Club](https://evebus.com/ru/evebus-club/) – переносы броней без потерь, [выбор посадочного](https://evebus.com/ru/seating-plan) места ❌ Экскурсовод: £20 с человека при условии набора группы от 6-ти участников 🎒 Что взять с собой: ☑️ Воду/еду по желанию ☑️Фотокамеру и зарядку для телефона ☑️Мелочь для чаевых и отличное настроение ☑️При необходимости не более одной ручной клади весом до 10 кг (40x30x20 см) ✳️ Обо всем остальном мы позаботимся.
