On Friday 10th July, Year 10 set off on the long journey to Snowdonia for fieldwork purposes for our GCSE Geography Controlled Assessments.
We stayed at Rhyd-y-creuau, a beautiful Georgian stone house, for the four days that we were in Wales. The food was excellent and we were mostly fortunate with the weather, we were occasionally caught out in a sudden downpour, but we were all prepared with our waterproofs so we managed to stay dry. There is, however, only so much that waterproofs can do when you fall in the river! We visited three sites along the River Conwy to collect our data, all very different to the next, it was brilliant to get out and see the changes downstream.
We also were lucky enough to take a hike through Cwm Idwal, a glaciated valley in the Glyderau range of mountains. This gave stunning views, especially when we all made it to the top! It was exhausting but well worth the climb. On behalf of all the Year 10 Geographers, I would like to say huge thanks to all the teachers who joined us on the trip: Mrs Barnett, Mr Roe, Mrs Glenn, Mrs Grimsdale, and to Mrs Jones for organising the trip. Thank you for helping to make this an amazing experience that we will never forget.
