This photo was taken at the back of the camp. The chalets in the background are Yellow Camp self-catering chalets. We stayed in these in 1980 (M105) and 1984 (ZH106). These chalets have since been replaced with Gallery Apartments. The area is now called Oyster Bay. The metal pylon towards the middle of the picture is one of the supports for the chair lift. The chair lift station was just behind me as I took this photo
