Breadsall Scouts

Coniston 1979


Arriving at the Yew Tree farm campsite July 21st. I was here as a sort of young leader. Andy Marshall, Zola and Dolf were in charge. I sit next to Ian Vallans on the way up there and listen to his music. He plays "Gates of Babylon" and "Kill the King", I love heavy music from then on. The leaders went to the Unicorn hotel in Ambleside every night. We took it in turns for one to stay behind to look after the scouts. I buy my first round.

A young cricketer in the making (NOT!)

Going for a swim at Tarn Hows.

Our flag pole with an Anemometer made out of catering size baked bean tins.
