Oh man, I've looked at those packages and just couldn't do it. Do you need one of those blankets firemen put on people they've saved? I would.

Does sound like a fun week. I'm pretty overdue for a vacation but we've just moved and the wife is still building up leave at her new job. Was it the one near Bedford with the tropical garden pool? I used to dream of getting out there sometime, but we never got the chance.

If you book outside of the school holiday's then they're not too bad. It's more than double the price during the school holidays and even the activities themselves can be more expensive.

I really enjoy the "no cars" rule they have, so all the little roads through the forest is used by people on bikes, and it's nice and peaceful.

We went to the one at Whinfell Forest in Cumbria. I'm not sure what the others are like but apparently it's got one of the best pools.

The one I was thinking of is Woburn forest, and yeah it looks like they're cut from the same cloth. I should do a cheeky non-school holiday sometime, makes sense it'd be cheaper.
