Biscay 2012


It's that time of year when we start to think about the annual 'tragic pelagic'across Biscay (Portsmouth-Santander, Santander-Plymouth). We're thinking about either early August or early September for the trip dates. Price has yet to be confirmed, as are the travel arangements to Portsmouth and back from Plymouth.

We will confirm a price once we know the numbers involved; this will be first come first served, so get your reservations in quick as we are likely to have limited availability at what will be a bargain price.

Nice one VdC. As a repeat customer you'll be pleased to hear that you have qualifies for the full 5 star treatment which includes a complimentry phillipino maid, plus an enthusiastic dwarf (for more details, plus costs on aquiring an enthusiastic dwarf, contact Slaphead - please note, we only have 4, so get your reservations in pronto).
On top of this remarkable offer we would also like to offer repeat buyers our 'Tiger Tours' gold membership card. Possession of a gold 'Tiger' will automatically ensure the following trip ticks*:

1) Dodo
2) O‘ahu Petrel
3) Chatham Extinct Petrel
4) Henderson Island Petrel

For the one off fee of £10.99 possession of this gold card will turn you from being a veritable shit-kicker in to a birding demi-god capable of finding even more rare birds than the Greates Living Birder (please note, we have a new GLB - at least 25.23% better than the last GLB, or your money back, guaranteed**).

* Only available for those with access to a time machine/ GLB (delete as appropriate)

** Subject to strict conditions that for legal reasons I can't go into.....but they do involve the embarkation of large amounts of hallucinogens.

*** Just for those who like stars...I was only joking about dodo, I meant Great Auk.
