Camping in Guernsey 1932


A group of Jewish friends set sail for Guernsey - where they enjoy the cameraderie of outdoor camping, aerial sight-seeing and great surfing

Lewis Rosenberg's splendid 1932 film follows him and his comrades on a trip to Guernsey. Departing by train from London, they arrive at St Peter Port and make their way to a coastal campsite. Lewis enjoys a pleasure flight before we return to the comrades larking about the camp. After a stiff descent down rocky cliffs, the group enjoys some spectacular surfing at Le Jaonnet Bay. The film ends with shots of outdoor cooking and ablutions before the larks resume on the beach.
