Slight hiccup with transport but a replacement was soon issued which did not ruin the experience. The only gripe was to be left as the last two persons with no transport after 3 coaches were filled, which I found slightly stressful, fortunately a very cramped sprinter arrived soon after, which we squeezed into either ends of the vehicle- rather annoying as it was my partner’s birthday treat & we didn’t get to travel together only when there was a vehicle fault/ swap did we get a larger coach…”
