10 Hours
There are 24 hours in a day. You probably already knew that, but just keep it in mind while I tell you read this next sentence: this weekend some of us spent, in total, over 20 hours on a coach. Two 10+ hour journeys. That's basically an entire day.
It was the coach ride from the very bottom of South Wales (Vale of Glamorgan) to the very top of North Wales (Anglesey), and we had to drive around the country making numerous pick-ups along the way, so we all knew it would be a long trip. But did it need to take that long? Well, I'm a staff member so it's not my place to judge. Fortunately I don't need to, as a few of the young people wrote a beautiful song about the experience, and it is my pleasure to bring this masterpiece of song writing to the internet. (Open the video in YouTube and you can even watch it in shiny HD quality - ooooh!)
So, without further ado, I bring you... 10 HOURS, with their debut single:
The Greatest Trip of All Time
Got picked up at Pontypridd Station
Picking people up around our nation
Our driver said: "No worry,
I got TomTom; we don't need to hurry!"
We want to get to Anglesey
We want to see CLIC at the sea
Started our journey going up the mountain
We've stalled 3 times and we're still counting
This crazy damn trip is driving us around the bend
Seems like this journey's never gonna end
We want to go to Anglesey
We want to meet CLIC by the sea
Arrive in Holyhead we see a McDonald's
and another McDonald's
and another McDonald's
[woah, wait... it's the same one!]
and another McDonald's
Drive down a road
it's a bit of a squeeze
Didn't see the sign that said "No wide vehicles, please" [Sam may have improvised slightly here]
We arrived at Anglesey
We met CLIC at the sea
We went straight for our tea
we went for a looooooong pee

Hey guys! I can't help but feel that it would've gone a lot better had we had the lyrics you just wrote out ;)

For some reason, when I came home, I had this in my head. So much so, that I began to "solo" (well, attempted to solo) over Craig's chords. Maybe I should've brought my guitar with me...
Ah well, next residential, I'm bringing my guitar and effects pedal. Going to add a bit of wah wah to the proceedings. Haha.

Looking back on this... I'm embarrassed. I know I've said that but I'm feeling much more embarrassed. *goes and hides face in a pillow*.
