What interesting trips did you go on when you were at school?

Had the usual trips to boring places with school although we did go to one of the outdoor activity places in the Brecon Beacons for a week.

With school band we did go to Germany a couple of times for week to do concerts etc in our twin town.

'And this one time .... in band camp'

Some amazing trips there - especially Iceland because it costs a fortune.
I've been asked to look for trips for our Apprentices and to be honest it needs to have a healthcare theme so the CSI and air crash simulation would be do-able.
We were going to China and spend some time in a hospital with children of different disabilities but we've been told China is a bit volatile now so Argentina looks on the cards instead (or Bolivia).
 
By far the best was a week in Amsterdam for a Business Studies trip in the 6th form, went to the Heineken factory, flower auction place and generally had a good time as the drinking age was only 16.

Week in Wales caving, canoing, rock climbing etc for the Duke of Edinburgh scheme.

A few day trips to Alton towers, France and London to see some museums and the like.
 
Skiing in Italy
Skiing in France
London
Snowdon - Duke of Edinburgh(Good time, dipped my wick in a good looking girl in tent romance at its finest)
 
Is there anyone else reading this thinking they went to the wrong school?

We got nothing like this, the only trip we had a a week out in Northumberland where we did some orienteering and loads of walking.
 
My girlfriend visisted Russia with her school in 1988, just before the collapse of the Berlin wall - surely the perfect time to visit.
 
The best trip i ever went on was to manchester airport for a visit round a concord befor they were taken out of service.

Been to America and France when i was in high school too.

our secondary school trips consisted of a look at the history of our local town centre and a 5mile walk setting off from the school gate and finishing at the erm school gate.

That was about the level of our trips. The 'treat' end of year jollies were usually either a class outing to the cinema or Pleasurewood Hills (Local theme park). Educational trips were visits to local towns, nature reserves etc.
 
Skiing in France * 2
Skiing in Austria
Skiing in Italy
Pompeii / Sorrento / Rome
Alton Towers
EuroDisney + PGL France
Loads of visits to local musems / castles / places of interest
 
two out of bounds trips that everyone in the year went on. one in year 7 to patterdale, one at the end of year 9 to ullswater.
 
we once went to the natural history museum but we weren't allowed to see the dinosaurs because according to our headmaster - they never existed.

THERE WAS ONE RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BLOOMING ENTRANCE!
 
Had an art trip to Madrid. That was really good as we went to Toledo, there were a lot of galleries around Madrid too and the architecture was fantastic.
