Arrival at Rainford
Traffic permitting, we will be at Rainford for around 9:15pm. Again, I’ll update the blog and Twitter as we get closer to Rainford.
Travel Update
We are now on our way back to Rainford. Having got a slightly earlier ferry, we anticipate that we will be back earlier than the expected 11pm, but this will obviously all depend on traffic.

Rue Tour and running away from drop spiders! 🕷🕸
What a fantastic morning we’ve had! We started with a delicious French petit déjeuner of croissants and pain au chocolat. Some of the students were looking quite weary, despite assuring us they didn’t stay up too late chatting and eating sweets! After breakfast, we headed out for a walking tour of Rue (the town inContinue reading “Rue Tour and running away from drop spiders! 🕷🕸“
