Friday 11th April - The Crossing

The day started with a very smooth crossing across the Irish Sea. No fatalities occurred; all was good. The boys took the opportunity to play on their gadgets and indulge in their piles of sweets. We were escorted to the hotel by the friendly people from St Thomas’, then unpacked and had the ever-familiar briefing from Mr Catterall. Most of the boys were driven in the minibus to Groudle Glen, where we went for a refreshing coastal walk and saw the remnants of a small zoo. On the walk back, we found a little shelter where we spontaneously sang some campfire songs. A few of the boys got the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to visit J.C.'s luxurious seafront bachelor pad where they picked up Mr Catterall's second car, Gloria. After the campfire songs, we boarded a tram back to Douglas. We then, after cleaning our hands with the 'squirty stuff', tucked into our delicious three course meal. After tea, we got the minibus to St Thomas' Church and practiced processing before walking back along the promenade to the hotel. We had some pre-bedtime biscuits and juice, and almost everyone used the hotel's free wifi. We then went to bed.
