Snow up to my waist, bitterly cold most days, but wonderful days spent at a fantastic school and in the beautiful countryside which surrounded the area. Sunday mornings and the trudge through the snow to a local church - I cannot remember which at either Stokenchurch or Beacons Bottom (not sure which). Afternoons off but, classes in the early evening, how strange was that? The best cross country route that I ever ran on, a great experience all round. Everyone associated with the place, premises and catering staff, teaching staff etc. all so helpful and accommodating. It must have been great to have attended in the better weather during a Spring or Summer term. Happy days, sorry to find out that it is now closed.
