I went to international camp school in 1974, 75 and 76. These years were my most beautifull. I was 18 and found there my first big love. A young boy called Paul coming from Newcastle. I spent there 3 times 2 weeks full of happy and silly things sharing fun with Norwegian people, French people, German people, Belgian people and... [more]

I attended Brown Rigg only for a short period of time in 1972, Sept-Dec I recall, so not many pupils from that time might remember me, maybe for being very disruptive.

The hikes to Grassy Bridge? I have lived in Canada now for 34 years and have returned to Bellingham to visit and remember the memories of this place... [more]

I attended this school somewhere around 1955-1957. Does anyone remember those years especially if you were in Pennine house dormitory?
Teachers as I remember were Bradbury, Barker & Craig for the girls dorms and Commander and Mrs Redman were the Heads [I think]!

Brown Rigg International Camp: A life changing experience
During the summer of 1960 I attended a two week summer camp for English Secondary School students and students from other European countries at the Brown Rigg camp: Students from Germany, France, Belgium and Norway, as I remember. The non English students were older than us- we were 15 they were 18 and older. It was a life-changing experience for me.... [more]

My maternal grandfather was born in Stockton on Tees in 1892. His father died, and his mother remarried resulting in him being farmed out to live with two maiden aunts who lived in "Tarset". My brother and I have tried in vain to find exactly where this might have been (I now think that Tarset was in fact a parish). His... [more]
