Friday 23rd November - Horsey Wind Pump


Talk about lucky - one fantastic day between some really terrible stormy days!   Our arrival at Horsey Wind Pump coincided with the unexpected arrival of the NT Warden who was there to do an end of season stock take.  He very kindly opened the loo, the cafe, the shop and the wind pump itself so we were able to enjoy all of the facilities (they are usually closed from the beginning of November).  Some canny Members made the most of the opportunity to buy some cracking BOGOF bargains.

We moved on to the Nelson Head and all packed into their cosy dining room where everyone seemed to enjoy an excellent lunch in double quick time so we could get down to Horsey Gap for the main event, the seals and pups.  We weren’t disappointed - the official count was approaching 300 pups on the beach and it didn’t take us long to locate them.  First the noise (from both ends!), then the smell which fortunately you soon get used to.  The light was good, the tide was pushing the seals up the beach so hopefully everyone managed to capture some images.  All in all, an excellent club outing.  Thanks to everyone who joined in on the day.
