A few camping tales from my youth.
St John Ambulance cadet camp.
Divisional camp- Getting lost on our hikes. Being escorted out of an extremely large garden near Plymouth by a most unhappy home owner. Missing the visit of the local County Officers.
Site owner in the Forest of Dean spraining his ankle trying to find us. Missing the visit of the local County Officers.
County Camp
One of the leaders waking us up in the early hours as his brand new tent had blown down.
The French naturist family on Guernsey whose daughter had a lot of boys willing to help her with her English.
Scout Camp
Mostly uneventful but one week we managed one boy going home after putting an axe into his foot. One boy going home after objecting to being told to do something and one angry farmer as what we had used as fire wood was the jumps he had built for his daughters' horses.
