Please someone fan me down, cold compress on me head.

How expensive are school trips-daughter just come home with final year 6 trip letter to PGL in Shropshire Frid-Mon £165 quid.

Aw I'm dreading the high school-might have to file for bankrupcy at this rate-

I think it was £ 285 for grandson, now year 8, to go to year 6 adventure camp, Monday to Friday in Dorset.
They had a whale of a time.

I would imagine that insurance accounts for alot of the cost of these trips.

The risk assessment is so strict these days.
