        Overview

        Like a scene from an action movie, the Wing family arrive at Clacton Pier by powerboat, having just zipped across the water. Ron Wing, an active member of the Institute of Amateur Cinematographers, captures his family and Clacton's daytrippers who enjoy a sunny but windy day on the pier. Popular amusements include "Steel Stella" the roller coaster, helter skelter "The Cresta Run", ghost train, Mirror Maze, dodgems and jockey weights - and that's just for the 'big kids'!
