Aiming High |
Today was originally planned to be a trip to Rudyard Lake to go on the Sailability boat with Aiming High, but Sailablilty pulled out with a few days to go with a broken boat! Aiming high quickly arranged an alternative trip and called up all the parents with the details. They had decided to go to Tatton Park instead, to visit the working farm there. Last time Matthew went on a Trio from John Street there had been an issue. So we had got in touch with Aiming High to see if they could pick Matthew up just for the trip that start from this location. Matthew got up around 09:00 and had a sausage toastie for his breakfast. He spent some time on his computer until a couple of Staff members from Crossroad came to pick Matthew up around 10:10. According to Matthew they drove up to Shelton to meet the bus, presumably so the staff had somewhere to park. When Matthew transfered onto the bus he got a picture of the Aiming High minibus. It was FJ10 BJX. A bus that Matthew had been on quite a few times...
