| The great little
hotel, baking hot at night but
great little breakfast area. Main
meals at the railway station.
Cannot remember exact dates but
do recall a long journey to
Newhaven. Kelly threatening other
school groups on ferry. Easy
train journey from Dieppe to
paris. Monty with his large stash
of fags on the coach across
Paris. Long rail journey through
France overnight, sleeping in
luggage racks etc. Amazed to see
the sports complex in Millau on
way in. Swimming in the river
Dorbie, Macintosh cutting his
nose when diving into river and
hitting rocks. Swimming from a
beach on the tarn with Alan
Blumenthal and Peter Gore and
being well of shore at the
sewerage boat discharged allsorts
just up river from us. Wondered
why the locals had left the
water. Very hot weather, trips to
the Rochfort cheese caves, Hydro
Electric plant on the Albi,
Gorges du Tarn, Cause du Larsac ?
Much pinball gaming in local
hangout. Eating french was not my
favourite, the idea of horse put
me off. Stopped in Paris for the
day on the way back. Had no money

left and thankfully
Steve Duvall helped and we went
up onto first platform of the
Eifel Tower and had 1 bag of
chips and a coke(shared) all day.
Rough crossing on way back. Music
of the trip.. Whiter shade of
Pale, All you need is love, I was
made to love her, come to mind. I
bought some very wide yellow
braces and corduroy shoes, wow
what a fashion icon. Came back
and spent a good time of the
holidays keeping John Allen
(badly broken leg) company. Happy
days…. am now a teacher and
the trips do have a little more
'health and safety' involved. Left: Memorial to
the explorers who discovered the
Aven Amand caves.
Right:
Gorges du Tarn. It was very
impressive in real life.
