Fun filming on Plymouth Hoe as the lido, more often just called the Hoe Pool, took a battering by a winter storm. Kayla had her Bolex along for the filming. One guy was playing dare with the waves wearing a huge shoe-gazer overcoat. He’d have been a goner if he’d fallen in.
A highlight of my teenage years at a grammar school in Plymouth was swimming on The Hoe with friends at lunchtimes. The midday break was 75 minutes so we’d run to one of the local corner shops, buy a pasty then run to the sea about a mile away, swim for half an hour then run back to school. The school was pretty strict so being back late wasn’t an option!
