Sixth Form Geography Field Trip

Lower Sixth Geography Field Trip to West Wales, April 2003

 

Lower Sixth Geography field work takes place in West Wales every April. Thanks to Alison Ainsworth for organising the field trip and taking the photographs.

Five lower sixth Geographers spent 4 days at the Rheidol field centre in West Wales studying various aspects of Geography for their AS exams. The weather was rather unsettled and practical measurements had to be done where possible, avoiding showers of rain. They found out what services were available in rural villages, carried out pedestrian counts, land use surveys and environmental assessments of Aberystwyth, studied Ynyslas sand dunes and the Leri valley, looked at erosional features in Clarach bay and carried out measurements of the storm beach in Borth. Evenings were spent processing the data back at the field centre
