Harpenden Trust Family Outing to Gullivers Land

It was a nice sunny morning last week when 14 families set off by coach on the Harpenden Trust family outing bound for Gullivers Land in Milton Keynes. Everyone enjoyed the various rides, although some were more daring than others!  Gullivers Land is not a big place and although some of the queues were rather long it was easy to navigate the park - they only lost one mother! All guests were treated to ice creams at the end of the afternoon which was a nice way to round off the day and get everyone together. The coach was very quiet on the way home as everyone was ready for a rest by then.  A great day out and much appreciated by everyone - Adam (age 10) told us "That was probably the funnest day out I have ever had!”
