I slept in a bell tent with about seven other Red Cross members.
The remainder of that day was spent handing over to her sister ship HMS Bermuda and landing fresh equipment and stores, including numerous bell tents, which were soon erected to form small villages to house the homeless population.
We used to go camping every weekend at Hayfield in an ex-army bell tent, and my brother and sister took me on the protest that day.

We slept in a bell tent and after my work was over went down into the forest for walks.
