Now, that's the way to travel to camp! - who needs climate control?
The driver looks somewhat bemused however . . .

MF of Quernmore recognised her late father Reg Riley on this picture of Scouts. He can be seen sitting at the back of the lorry.
M writes: "He often went camping with Sulyard Street Scouts, and subsequently became Scoutmaster and Rover Scoutmaster.
He took his "lads", including his brother Harold, all over the North West and Wales camping and walking.
They even went to Prague before World War Two.
Reg was at the first World Jamboree at Arrow Park and met Lord Baden Powell and the then Prince of Wales. He had many a story to tell. Thank you so much for printing the photo and bringing back memories of my father!"
