Skomer A trip to the Puffins

My first trip to Skomer an island off the Welsh coast. I had seen a lot about it on TV and thought I would go and see the Puffins. 

I joined a group of photographers from a forum who I had never meet before.

It was a 6-hour drive to the campsite for the overnight stay. It was close to where we would get the boat in the morning to get to the Island It’s about a 20-minute crossing.  I would be staying on the island for 2 nights.

After the crossing, it’s a steep climb up cliff steps to a waiting tractor to take all my gear including my food to the center.

The 2 days passed so quickly it was a blur. 

While driving home I knew I would return and stay a lot longer. It was a great experience.
