Rhineland trip 2009
Published by September 17th, 2008 in Foreign Trips and Uncategorized. 0 CommentsEvery year Preston Lodge has a number of foreign trip experiences for pupils. These trips usually happen in the last week of term before the summer holidays. In June 2008 we ran trips to Chamonix (France), Strasbourg (France) and Valkenburg (Netherlands).
In June 2009 we hope to offer trips to Chamonix, Rhineland and Valkenburg. Each of these [...]
Holland 2008 is just an increasingly distant memory - Holland 2009… well that’s something to look forward to !!
Chamonix - School’s Out For Summer
Published by June 27th, 2008 in Foreign Trips and Uncategorized. 1 CommentWe got into the terminal and joined the queue for the ferry in good time. After the heat of the last week the dockside breeze was a bit of a reality check. We were hoping we might be able to get an earlier ferry but Sea France had other ideas…………
Realising that it might be [...]
Chamonix - Homeward Bound
Published by June 27th, 2008 in Foreign Trips and Uncategorized. 0 CommentsAnd so it was that the dawn – recovering from a traumatic week of breakages - managed to creep into the valley like a thief in the night. Quite remarkable really because it needed to cope with some really thick mountain fog. Full marks for perseverance and improved technique.
07:00 and the hotel resounded to [...]
As has happened every day so far, dawn has broken although so far, no-one has actually given us a bill for the breakages. We’re quite glad as we don’t actually feel it’s our fault. Last night we saw a couple of clouds lurking but they crept away during the night. So once [...]

Mrs Christie played a key role today guarding [...]
Chamonix - Nessun Dorma (”None Shall Sleep” - after 06:00 anyway)
Published by June 25th, 2008 in Foreign Trips. 5 CommentsTuesday
So yet again the dawn broke, quietly, across the mountains. We were expecting it this
time so it wasn’t really a surprise. It must be pretty fragile though if it keeps breaking like that. However, this morning the sun rising was followed very closely by our pupils rising too. When we told [...]
Hi again from Holland
The weather is really hot.
Today we started at the Chairlift (up the mountain - well it counts as a mountain in Holland!!!). We then had about an hour of Rodelbahn-ing.
We then had some lunch and went on a train ride through the lime caves in Valkenburg. These have been around since Roman [...]
Monday on the Holland trip.
Everyone was down for breakfast at 8am - well almost everyone - some needed a second wake up call.
The journey to Phantasialand took us just over an hour and driver Joe got us to the park for just after opening time.
The weather was scorching all day so hats, shades and sunscreen [...]
