We used to go fruit and pea picking as kids. We went to a central location on the outskirts of Liverpool and were picked up by farm waggons, which brought us back at the end of the day. So we didnt need to stay overnight. We used to go in a group and my friends brothers were 15 and 16 (big lads) so they looked after us.
It was hard work but we enjoyed it. I remember saving the money to buy my first pair of stiletto heeled shoes.
