When I first saw where you were I was instantly reminded of the last time I visited the Isle of Wight and we stayed in one of those chalet parks. I remember seeing several red squirrels there, which I was amazed by as I don't think I have ever seen one in the wild before or since, glad you spotted one. The phrase "I got sent on a PGL one summer when I was about 8, I absolutely hated it", I could say that exact same thing, I sympathise. I won't bring down the mood of your comments section with just how bad my experience was but I can tell you one thing that is amusing at least on some level: one of the tasks we had to do (I think it might have been the first evening, just to kill some time when they didn't have any activities on), the staff split us up into two teams and challenged us to make the 'longest line', we could use our bodies and any items of clothing we were willing to remove, some people unlaced their trainers, some removed tops (as I did and stopped there), and some removed their trousers. As I took my place in the line I looked across to the opposing team's line in the fading daylight to see that one person had removed his pants and was lying face down totally nude. After this when we were heading back I told the boy I was sharing a tent with about what I had seen, and he said: "Oh, that was me."
