This film shows preparations in Swaledale for an agricultural show, and a fell run across the countryside. The film opens with a view of the river Swale meandering through a valley.  Next a young girl looks through a tear in the fabric of a marquee to see what’s going on inside.  Views follow of preparations for an agricultural show with folding seats lying on the ground and a man securing some rope on a wooden structure. In the distance is a sheep pen. A number of brass band instruments lie on the grass next to a stone wall. A general view shows people and cars on the show field. From a hillside, the show field can be seen in the distance nestling at the bottom of a valley, the river Swale in the foreground. Fell runners cross the river, the camera shows contestants coming through a gate in a stone wall. Next a view follows of a windswept hillside, which cuts back to a closer view of the gate runners negotiated earlier, this time they climb over the gate. The film shows the contestants being tested to the limit as they go up a steep hillside. This film ends with a downhill section on a concreted track as two runners pass by.
