Yesterday afternoon Miss Starling and I drove up to Llanberis in North Wales with 9 year 10 geography students for a trip into the mountains to learn about glaciation. Last night the students had a presentation from a Snowdonia National Park Ranger.
This morning we met up with Paul Gannon for an educational walk around Cwm Idwal. Paul is the author of Rock Trails - Snowdonia, a book written for keen hill walkers wanting to know more about the geographical and geological features in the area. The students all enjoyed the morning and found it extremely useful to visualise the information learned in the classroom.
The afternoon was spent at Electric Mountain. We took the students on a tour around the hydro electric power station to look at the benefits of sustainable power production.
After a good dinner of Sausage Casserole and an evening classroom session the students were off to bed to prepare for the next day.
