Made by Betty and Cyril Ramsden, this film was taken during a nature walk in Reeth, near Richmond in the Yorkshire Dales, at Whitsun. The couple were semi-professional filmmakers filming both for pleasure and taking on commissions from companies such as the Yorkshire Evening Post. Title-A Ramsden Film Title-Reeth Whitsun 1947 The film opens showing the sign for `The Kings Arms Hotel, proprieters C B Englis and R A Hodge'.   Betty, Cyril and their friends exit the hotel and get into their Vauxhill 14 car and car drive off.  There are many different views of the countryside taken from the car as it drives along the road. They get out and walk along a river that meanders through a field. The camera captures some of the local flowers as they walk past, focusing on the bluebells in a wood.  There is a road sign showing the A810, Marske 1 1/2 miles, Richmond 4 3/4 miles. Betty opens a gate to a filed and they drive through down to the river.  The two couples have a picnic by the river's edge. One of the women changes into a bathing suit and very gingerly walks out to a rock in the middle of the river and back again. Title-Means to an end! One of the men goes on a long walk through fields and down country roads to a village before rushing into the Red Lion Inn. He emerges carrying two pints of beer, giving one to Cyril with the rest of the group already sitting at an outside table.  Cyril and his friend have a cigarette and the film closes with them all enjoying a drink. Title-The End.
