Short description
Youth hostels... to some they mean adventure, international travel, respite from pressures of city living; to others they're just doss-houses full of great outdoors bores. But fear of redundancy is a universal one, understood by high flyers and minions alike, and when closure threatens one lakeland hostel a highly unorthodox survival strategy unites warring staff.Extended description
Mention youth hostels in any gathering and someone will relate an anecdote; backpacking students, holiday romances, detested school trips etc.But what of the staff who live and work in them? 'Rucksacks and Renegades' follows the staff of one hostel through a summer season in the late 1960s during which culture shock, generation gap, rampant infatuation, and other assorted tripwires resulting in near-miss debacles and hushed-up scandals are met with Scouse savvy and experience of life, ultimately proving more than a match for the overconfidence of youth, the animosity of the committee, and the mayhem caused by both.
