Here is Graham's trip to Skegness from summer 2022. 

Last Summer I enjoyed a lovely day out with a Church Group from Moss Side in Manchester.

I had taken them out before, so was looking forward to a scenic drive and a fabulous day at the Seaside.

We met up at 8.30am at the church and loaded up lots of baby buggies, beach games, food and drink and we were on our way.

There was a whole range of passengers today, young babies, children, teenagers, parents, grand parents and church officials.

Here's another blog from Graham. This one is from an adventure back in April 2022. 

Well Everyone, I have just got back from a brilliant 4 day holiday in Sunny Scotland, with a wonderful group.

Here is a diary entry from October 2022 by Graham, one of our lovely coach drivers. 

We set off early on Thursday morning and headed west into North Wales, where we made our first stop in Conwy. I dropped the group off at the Castle and gave them enough time to explore the town and get refreshments. Conway is a beautiful town on the banks of the river Conwy, famous for the Castle and the Smallest House in Great Britain.
