Treasure hunt
We’re off on a Treasure Hunt !
The treasure hunt took us all over the site
Sharing out treasure at the end
Avon Tyrrell for wheelchair users
Something to bear in mind for groups with wheelchair users is that Avon Tyrrell is a wooded site, and some of the paths are fairly steep. It is a good idea to make sure there are enough people to make sure that slopes can be negotiated safely. Also some of the surfaced paths have tree roots causing additional bumps in the surface – nowhere is impassable, but be prepared.

Alton Towers 2012
Early in the morning of September 15th we set off, in two minibuses – the Oxford Phab Minibus and one which had been come all the way from Chichester Phab.
We had a meal in their restaurant, and they stayed in the accommodation, which was accessible, and went on several rides.
On the Sunday we returned home – tired by happy.
We had a great time – which is why there are not many pictures, but you can see some of what we did in this gallery
Oxford Phab in Paris
This is a placeholder
On the third full day of our Eurodisney/Paris trip we went on the coach into Paris, seeing the sights and going up the first stage of the Eiffel Tower.
Oxford Phab meets Eurodisney
This post is a placeholder – I hope to expand it with more of our exciting time
Having had an exciting trip to get there, Oxford Phab members were ready to enjoy the Eurodisney experience to the full.
Some of our members wanted to go on as many thrilling rides as possible in the Resort, and others wanted to take things a little easier and meet the Disney Characters.
Off to Eurodisney !
After lots of planning and preparation we assembled bright and early at Donnington Social Club to board an accessible coach to go to Eurodisney, in France near Paris, on our second Phab holiday abroad.
The side lift in use
At Dover we boarded the cross channel ferry for the trip to Calais.
Calais in sight at last – however we did have to go round and round in the Channel for a while before we could dock and board the coach again heading for Paris.
It was a long day getting there – catching up on sleep was a good way to spend the time.
