Probably the day trip down to Cardiff to collect an award a year or two ago. The teacher fell on her arse :laugh: the train journey there and back was a good laugh aswell

A month in a little town just outside of Cape Town.
No parents, although I did miss them.

3day/night train journey there and back through the Kalahari was a tad tiresome mind.

3rd year in high school we went for a weeks retreat to a massive house in the middle of nowhere that the school owned and the second morning we (about 12 of us) jumped out of the window and walked for hours until we found a town and convinced some man to go into the shop to buy us cider, we all ended up drunk and where having a great old time until the teachers found us.

They grounded us for the rest of the week :fist:

We weren't even allowed to leave the house to do the planned activities along with everyone else but it was still a great week just because of the laughs we had.

We went to Berlin one year, that was fun enough. Though a couple of years after I left they went to New York, which would have been awesome.

Does a trip with a summer camp count? They were affiliated with the school and they took us to Wales, that was great. :amazed:

Paris in year 8. The first three days were mostly educational or sight seeing which was cool. The 4th day was Disneyland from 10am to 10.30 pm. It was mostly empty at the start too. We went on space mountain about 10 times in a row as we just has to keep going round and queuing for like 5mins. Truly epic trip when you consider the laughs we had in the hotel too. Good times.

New York and Washington.
Were meant to be there a week but got stuck by the Icelandic ash cloud in Washington for a whole extra week, paid for by the insurance company!
We got in the Washington Post and personally invited to tour the white house!!

Stayed in a Jewish hostel on the outskirts of Bruges when I was about 14 on a history trip, that was pretty cool

Went over to France on a ferry for it. I love ferries

Probably the history trip to Krakow in sixth form, partly because the history aspect of it was really good and getting to visit Auschwitz, and partly because at that age you get a lot more independence, was great getting free time in the evenings and going for a couple of pints in a Polish bar

When we went to Hadrians wall..the teacher that everyone hated fell over and landed in a cow pat right after telling us to stop messing about or we would fall over. That day was amazing :joker:

They canceled the Paris trip for my year because in the year that went before mine 5 of them got arrested in McDonald.

my favorite trip is either the isle of white trip in year 6 or when we went to the place that Ann Boleyn was executed in year 4.

Year 7 residential trip. The year could decide whether they want to go to Rutland Water, London, Snowdonia or America (football-related).

I originally was set on London because a) its London b) its relatively close and c) but its not close like Rutland Water.

Anyway my friend (at the time) convinced me to go to Snowdonia. BEST DECISION EVER.

I mean I was pretty fat at the time and found the whole experience absolutely shattering but it was so much fun. We did canoeing, kiyaking, raft-building, rock climbing, an adventure path and then the day before the last we climbed Mt Snowdon. Was a great feeling being stood on top! The adventure path was absolutely torture though and we did that the evening before, so I did actually try and get out of climbing Mt Snowdon because I thought Id generally wouldnt be able to cope... but the teacher convinced me otherwise "its a lifetime opportunity blah blah" and it ended up actually being alright :tongue: ... that adventure path though... ****.

Funny story. Because I was that much bigger than other people, when our team built our raft everytime I got on the raft would turn over and wed all keep falling in the river :joker: Couldnt stop laughing. So in the end I had to get on first and balance everybody with my weight and turn the raft by leaning either left or right... yepp proud moment... I was known as the 'steering wheel'.
