Days One & Two

We all gathered at the army camp, bags packed and instruments in hand. We then had the ultimate in Tetris challenges trying to fit it all on to the coach - all the fancy mod-cons (air-conditioning, toilets etc.) take up important boot space. An hour later though it was all packed in, including the timps and basses that we were convinced we would have to leave behind just minutes earlier! Then began the 22 hour (?) coach journey!

Helen admits that she won't make it through the whole holiday without having her photo taken and so gives in early! Typical student making his packed lunch on the bus - a loaf of bread and a packet of meat, all the supervisions you need (plus many tubes of Pringles!!) Helen, Helen and Dan. Helen (iddy diddy Helen) was one of many soft toys that travelled with us on the coach.
