\nA group of 10 UBUCsters ventured up to Northumberland for some seal\nspotting and diving. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

After a long but\nkaraoke fuelled drive up north, we all arrived to a warm cosy\nbunkhouse late on Friday evening. Saturday started with a morning\nbimble round the idyllic Lindisfarne island and explore of the\ncastle. We then headed to Beadnell bay to catch the dive boat that\nwould take us to the seals! \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\nAfter a smooth crossing out to the Farne Islands the skipper found a\nsheltered bay of seal pups with their mothers for us to dive with.\nThe seals weren\u2019t the most interested in diving with us underwater\nhowever we got some great views of them on the surface. After\nre-grouping on the boat with tea and tomato soup we found a new\ncolony of seals who rushed into the water to see us but again\nremained at a distance below the surface. Sadly the wind picked up so\nwe had to make a speedy return to shore. That evening showers, fish &\nchips, cake, gin and rugby catch-ups were in order in anticipation\nfor a better day\u2019s diving the next day. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Sunday arrived\nwith strong winds which unfortunately meant no diving was possible on\nthe Islands or further up the coast at St Abb\u2019s Head, across the\nborder in Scotland. All was not lost however as we had an explore\nalong the spectacular cliffs above St Abb\u2019s in the afternoon sun.\nWe then returned to Bristol with of course stopping off for a Spoons\ndinner and final catch-up on the way back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Despite not getting the dives we had hoped for, the group had a great weekend escaping up to Scotland for some sea air, sight-seeing and great views of seals with their pups!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
