PGL stands for Peter Gordon Lawrence who started it all, but preferably known as Parents Get Lost by the kids!  The coach journey took a total of 6 to 7 hours though it was well worth it. At PGL there were many activities here are a few: Zip wire Canoeing Climbing And many more....... Best of all was the food because it was exquisite!!! We had alternative days for bacon and sausages at breakfast, at lunch hot dogs and baguettes finally at dinner chicken curry plus fish and chips were served.  Altogether it was BRILLIANT!!!!   Written by Lydia Clarke
