That's where we went.

Wasn't it owned/run by Wiltshire schools or something.

We went from John Bentley & the other half from Southbroom.

Did you do the pot holing, I particularly remember the Mars Bar Squeeze

[Hitchinred]

Was the Mars Bar squeeze the same as the Letter Box I remember? Wasn't there some bloke with huge finger nails running Pencelli?

[Saxondale]

We went with Hardenhuish as well.  Good laugh.

Yeah, the guy that ran it had massive fingernails and a huge barrel chest if I remember rightly.

The building was called 'plas Pencelli' and is still owned by Swindon Borough Council and Wiltshire schools still go there.

Remember the little packed lunch....raisins cheese etc.
Always had a massive urn of tea brewing when we got back from walking or climbing and clearly remember that they used to use an old fashioned gong to call us for dinner.
Remember also the little cellar ware coke and sweets could be baught in the evening.
Loved it.
