An amateur film of a camping trip by pupils of the Royal Grammar School Newcastle to Arncliffe in the Yorkshire Dales. The film features the boys from the school setting up camp as well as preparing for and having a meal in a field. With one of their teachers taking the lead they go on a hiking trip through the local countryside. The final part of the film, possibly off-cuts, features two boys playing handball. Water flows along a rocky stream changes to a Border Collie dog standing on a road. A man carrying a box and a woman are followed along a country road by a group of boys. Two men, look over an old tractor, they stand beside it talking. In a field, boys work to erect a number of circular canvas tents. Around one tent a boy pushes pegs into the ground around which the guide ropes are attached. Two men speak with an older man, possibly a farmer, beside a wooden gate. Boys stand in a line as food is served to them from large vats sitting on a long trestle table. One boy has milk poured from a large jug onto a bowl of rice or possibly porridge. A group of them sit nearby eating. The boys stand around a bench on which sit a number of teachers plus a teenager girl sitting next to one man who is talking. Boys take potatoes from a sack and peel them into buckets of water using various knifes. One boy is shown what do. Around a table, boys spread butter or margarine on slices of bread, pickle is added to some of the slices. Two boys fill water bottles from a large milk churn. A farm gates is opened, and the school group make their way through it, those at the rear closing the gate behind them. The group marches along a country road, through another smaller gate and up a hill. They climb over a stone wall using a stile and stop for lunch atop a hill. One boy opens a tin of pilchards making sandwiches with the bread buttered earlier, a number of the boys enjoy these sandwiches. On a nearby bench other sandwiches and made and consumed by another group which includes the teenage girl. They continue their walk across another field and through a gateless field entrance. They march upwards reaching a rocky out crop atop of which the stop, one boy sitting on a triangulation station or trig point. Some of the boys pose beside and atop the trig point, other relaxing on the grass. One man in a red cap smokes a cigarette. The group make their way across another stone wall marching across fields and open moorland. Some of the boys stop for a rest the other side a stile in a stone wall while other continue downhill towards a gate. Blank A man sits at the wheel of a van in the field with the tents, he drives away. Two boys play a game of handball beside their tents. A net has been set up between them, two boys watching nearby. The film changes to show the boys peeling potatoes again, followed by them sitting on a grassy bank as one of them takes a swig of water from his canteen. The film ends on the group crossing a stile in a stone wall again.
