The best bits were going into a huge mouth where you hear really loud burps, and then going up a giant's nostril – except I didn't see anything because I was hiding behind Daddy. The worst was the crow – it was in a hut and it did a wee-wee on my brother Niall. I would definitely go again, but I'd do it backwards: first Jervaulx Abbey, then Forbidden Corner and then ice cream – vanilla. I really liked choosing what we did 'cos I like being the boss. It was great!

It was very different to what we normally do at the weekend. We usually go to old castles or Kew Gardens and stuff. Sometimes that's boring, sometimes it's interesting.

I chose the indoor skiing and Airkix. I'd never been skiing before and I wanted to have a go – it was really fun. It was cold in there and there was real snow, so it felt like real skiing. I enjoyed the Airkix the most, even though I was quite bad at it. I think my dad was the worst at it – he couldn't get it right and kept flinging his arms around.

The worst bit was when we were doing the wakeboarding because it wasn't attached to the speedboat, so when you fell off you had to swim back to the side and the water was freezing cold. If I did it again I'd do one activity a day instead of cramming it all into one day, but the activities we chose were really fun. I'd like to go to America because I've never been there.

It was really fun – we normally just go to parks at the weekend, so this was really extraordinary. I enjoyed the whole weekend but my favourite thing was probably the Airkix skydiving, floating in the air and stuff. At first it was scary but after a while you got used to it.

Skiing was great too because the rest of the family came along for that. When my younger brothers and sisters come along we don't do as much extreme stuff. If I could, I'd add even more activities; I'd like to try paragliding. I'd also like to go to the Caribbean again because it's really tropical and the sand's really white. I love going there.

I had great fun. The walking was amazing and I loved some parts of the driving through the national park. The rocks were amazing, all jiggedy-jaggedy over the road. We went to this massive waterfall on the border with France. I'd like to go back to the town in the mountains where we were, because I really like the name – Buerba. Every day we would go down to the pools to swim: we were the only people there, and that is why I want to go back.

The food was amazing. One bit I thought was a bit annoying was when Mum went a bit dodgy with her Spanish. She should have ordered two calamari but she ordered four – we had to take the rest back and barbeque it at the campsite!

At some points I got a bit tired but apart from that it was great. It was a bit long but I could still manage it. Next time we shouldn't bring our dog on that kind of holiday.

It was good fun, one of the best holidays ever. My favourite part was all the walking, and the pools and rivers were beautiful and very refreshing. Next time I'd maybe leave out some of the tours around churches. We decided on this holiday because we wanted to go to northern Spain, to a mountain region. We all have a vote, we merge a few ideas, we end up compromising. I like a mixture of holidays: with my dad, I go to America and have a relaxed holiday and don't do as much; with my mum, I have much more energetic holidays, with lots of walking. I love the wildness and the remoteness of where we often go.

My sister won't go anywhere without the dog, basically. But the dog hated it a lot: she had to go in very small metal kennels on the top of the boat. In some places it was quite hard – the walking was quite tough for her because the heat on the rocks was too much for her paws and the rocks were too sharp. We left her behind when we went to Finland last year. If we went to the Pyrenees again we would definitely leave her behind.

There was one really amazing walk along the bottom of the gorge in the national park. It went through every single type of landscape, from meadows to foresty – it took nine hours. We often go walking in the country at home but not as long as that! There was also a really beautiful pool we got to from the river. It was a really long sweaty walk down but when you got there the water was really clear and there was a really large rock in the sun to sunbathe on. The water went, like, above my head, so you could jump or dive in and it was really amazing. Sometimes the walks were a bit long for Matt, but he's really into archaeology and stuff and Mum kept pointing out rocks that were interesting.

This trip was quite hot and I'm not very good at heat. There wasn't any way to cool down and I found that quite hard. I really like the dog, but Mum doesn't really like taking the dog away. But I felt quite bad because the dog really hurt her paws. I really enjoyed having her there and she really enjoyed it when her paws weren't hurting, because she could swim in the pools and she could be with the whole family. She got quite scared and anxious when we kept moving around, though.

I've got quite different opinions of a holiday to my mum – she likes the heat and I like rain in Scotland – so we take turns. There was one really good holiday in Scotland when it was quite hot. I think it's quite hard to agree on a family holiday. We normally agree on a middle option and that turns out to be quite fun.
