Ahh I remember well the 5 hour drive every year from Manchester to Minehead every year in my dads cortina, am radio fading in and out under every bridge.
Things I remember.
The swimming pool with the window into the princess lounge.
The dining room where everybody would clap when something was dropped.
The monorail
The outside swimming pool.
The boating lake with the ant infested central Island.
Jumping in the outside pool because I was covered in ants from the island !
The smoker room.
The fake storm in the beachcomber bar (I was to young to go in the evening, but I remember going in during the day and they set off the fake storm with the thunder, rain and lightning etc. Great.)
The baby monitoring service (baby crying in chalet ...). Never get away with that now !
The donkey Derby !
Learning to swim in the indoor pool.
Ahh the good old days. Great stuff.
Butlins forever !
