Countdown is on...

We'll soon be saying goodbye to Inner Farne...

and goodbye to Brownsman for another year.

Sunday 2nd December comments: The countdown is on. After 256 days living on the Farne Islands the ranger team will eventually move off the Farnes for the winter. The team, as many as twelve at the height of summer, now numbers six and after a good autumn we'll be saying goodbye to the mighty islands for another year.

However before we leave we still have plenty to do on here. We’ve still got seal pups to count, a boardwalk to complete and an overhaul of the buildings (putting them to bed for the winter), so our work is not complete just yet.

It’ll be an action packed week ahead and one final thing we must check before leaving…the weather. Will it stay settled for us to leave? Start crossing those fingers, its the final week and its anything could happen. Anything.
