Last day - a bit of a wreck, but I loved it
... but like most things in life, you get what you pay for. This was amazing value for money - food, accommodation, coaching, staff all rate as excellent and a group of 11 with two coaches is a good size. The accommodation is a cross between a shared student house and a hotel. We chill out together in the Lounge or in the hot tub; our rooms are made up and we are fed and watered very well.

The other trainer - Steph Lightfoot - gave us a similar ...
Day 1
... bit scatty and watches **** TV. That's fine. My main concern is She has an Empty house (if you've not already seen it, check out, "Kevin Bridges, The Empty" on youtube - link below). Now, I admit that my bathroom would be classified as a health hazard in most civilized countries, and I can live with that, but what I worry about on my return is whether or not my hens and my tomato plants will still be alive, has the oven been left on, and ...
