Description

Camping scenes and footage of people riding tricycles. Opens with shots of young men washing in a stream before general views of tents and activity on various campsites, including one at a racecourse. A woman cooks bacon on a stove at the back of a van whilst a baby is rocked in a pram outside. There is footage from what appears to be a tricycle time trial that passes through Pimhill in Shropshire, before children and adults are seen in a park with their tricycles. Concludes with views from a moving van and shots of people walking in wintry conditions near a waterfall.
