Part of the Hattersley Collection, this film documents a canoeing competition and camping trip in Upper Wye, Wales during Whitsun 1969. The film is magenta and slightly underexposed so some scenes are hard to see. The film opens showing the rapids of the river Wye. A canoeing competition is taking place. One of the competitors quickly rides over the river rapids and swirling water, negotiating his canoe around the many rocks which jut out of the water. He also makes his way over some of the small waterfalls. The next scene takes place at the campsite. There is a group of people who join together to push a VW Camper. In an orchard, there is a car being driven round as a child sits on the hood of the car. The film closes showing a large group of people pushing a Mini around the orchard. The roof has canoes piled on it, and the children sit on the boot.
