In the evening we ventured down to crazy golf in soaring temperatures. Well done to one wee superstar who sunk the final putt in one to win 12 free passes for the entire team. 👏🏻👏🏻

After a long day, a final bit of free time to play some cards before settling down for the night. With others in the arcade and some electing for an early night.

So after an enjoyable buffet breakfast we are now comfortably in the park and everyone has already started riding or queuing for the main attractions. There will always be a staff member at the meeting point at the start of the Rita attraction. As indicated. Enjoy the day!!!

We have a new member of the party chilling out before travelling home with us. Alton T. Martin. Well done to Holly and her basketball skills. 👏🏻👏🏻 🏀

We’re on the road home. After a thrilling two days at Alton Towers, we are all aboard and returning to Dumbarton. My early estimation is the return to the school will be between 10:45 and 11:00pm.
