New Old Film Challenge #263 'We're All Going On a Summer Holiday'

It's almost the hols, whether youre going camping in the Cairngorms of taking your bucket and spade down to Brighton, dig out those old holiday snaps.
Loads of shoehorning possibilities with this one, everything from seagulls pinching ice creams to double decker buses driven by Cliff Richard, the world is your lobster.

As usual the following rules apply:
1) Must be taken by you
2) Must have been taken on film, notwithstanding which, digital post processing is allowed
3) Must have been taken and developed prior to the start date of this challenge

Discussion in the Discussion thread (link below) rather than this Entries thread, please.

Please include details of the camera, lens, film etc and anything else of relevance, if you can possibly the details remember that far back. Perhaps you could also explain you reasons for the choice of image, as long as it doesn't contain vacuous statements like these:

"For me, photography means endless inspiration.
I use photography the way a painter might use paint.
Without photography I couldn't make my art..."

I could go on, but please don't allow me.

Entries close some time after midnight Monday 29th July 2025, following which a voting page will be opened with a three day voting window.

Please keep all discussion and comments in the "new old film discussion thread" https://www.talkphotography.co.uk/threads/new-old-film-challenge-discussion-thread.698995/page-24

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE OLD RULE THAT 'THE PICTURE MUST BE SCANNED BEFORE THE DATE OF THE CHALLENGE' HAS BEEN RESCINDED!
 
Zenith E, Kodacolor II, tweaked in Lightroom as the colours were terrible.

Widemouth Bay campsite, Bude, Cornwall 1977. Archetypal lads summer holiday.
The reason my mate Paul is sitting in the car looking so glum is that Derek, the bloke on the right, had just driven my knackered rustheap Morris 1100 into the side of Paul's very nice Mk2 Cortina. We were just getting ready to head out for the day and Derek was turning my car round on the slopey campsite hill and he didn't take account of the dew soaked grass, he put on the brakes and slid straight into the drivers door, as you can see, Paul's not happy. I wasn't happy either but Pau's expression warranted a photo.
