Re: Summer School Holidays, where did you go, what did you get up to?

It felt like the school holidays lasted 18 weeks....and you were right about the weather too.
We used to build dens and dams up Priestley clough....we walked up to the Five arches and spent all day playing various games.......cowboys and indians, hide and seek, king of the Castle, Heroes and Villains......I don't recall taking anything to eat, but we played out most of the day.
We also spent time up the 'Rec'...Bullough Park, we played on the streets, with skipping ropes, marbles, whips and tops, hopscotch.
We had a real good time, lots of fun, lots of activity and we didn't bother anybody
