Was your wife in on the surprise?!? Where are they gonna sleep, I thought centre parks were pretty tight on not letting the cabins be over-full?

Yeah, I always kind of wanted to hate Center Paris on principle. But it's great, especially when your kids are at the "fairly independent, but not quite" age. They fact you have to book almost everything 3 years before you get there always pissed me off though. (Mainly because my wife and I are pretty chaotic, so we'd generally miss everything.) We went to one in Holland as well (can't remember if it was an official "Center Parks" or just a similar one) and it was great. Significantly cheaper, and felt a bit more like a "holiday" - though it did involve travelling on a ferry which is possibly my most hated form of transport. (I was once told by a fortune teller I would die at sea. I think fortune telling is complete bollocks, but it still prods that irrational bit of my brain every time I get on a boat.)Centre Parcs is the tits. Loving it here

Several big bites but only managed to land one carp.
Had two big battles with something big enough to almost bend my rod in half, resulting in a snapped line. Twice.
First time my hook line snapped, losing just the hook and bait. Second time it snapped my mainline, lost the terminal tackle, my method feeder and led clip.
Damn.
Was sweating at the end! Was brilliant fun!

We’ve all been there… get some ointment.
