We have visited Flamborough many times over the years with my family and have been lucky enough to see puffins on quite a few of those visits - you do have to time it right!  Puffins can be seen between April &#38; mid July and can be tricky to spot amongst the huge number of kittiwakes and razorbills.

After packing up our Nissan Qashquai the night before with all the camping equipment we would need for 2 weeks, we drove down to Folkstone on very quiet UK motorways, a perfect time to be on the M25!  Breakfast on Le Shuttle As we had arrived at the Le Shuttle terminal in plenty of time, we were able to catch an earlier train which was fantastic. ...]]></description><link>https://www.earlyretirementroadtrip.com/post/troyes-france-june-2026</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a47b9d5f7b480551f0c8669</guid><pubDate>Sat, 06 Jun 2026 18:37:09 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/13eae9_55151edc99a94cba855951dbbf47f02e~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>emmabrewer1</dc:creator></item></channel></rss>
