Description

On July 23rd 1953, the students of Altrincham Grammar school can be seen boarding the coach and departing for their camping trip. On the way, they stop off at Tewkesbury and visit the abbey. Once they arrive at the campsite in Ladram Bay in Devon, they unload the bus and get settled. They visit the beach, go swimming in the sea before walking over Peak Hill to Sidmouth. Some of the boys walk along the promenade before heading back to the campsite where they play games. The next morning we see the children washing their clothes and preparing for the tent inspection. The boys all help out with the washing up of cups and plates.
