11th to 18th August 2017
My trip was organised by The Field Studies Council. The course was entitled 'Geology and Scenery of Shropshire and the Borderlands' it was expertly directed by David Cronshaw. Daily trips into the area enabled us to get a better understanding of the Geology of the area and the way it had been formed. These photographs give some idea of our trips and I have tried to give correct titles to them but I am sure there are some mistakes. This may make you look more closely to spot the errors! I would be pleased to have any feedback with corrections.
The weather was warm with little rain during our trips but very wet underfoot from some over night rain on some days.
This page shows photographs of the trip and on this occasion I have included photos of any wildlife seen. Some photos are of a poor quality but serve as a record of the trip.
