Snowdonia 'A' level fieldwork

I'm currently on another trip - this time to Snowdonia with 6th form students, and colleagues, to do the fieldwork for upland and lowland glaciation. It is not on the doorstep when you live in Cambridgeshire, so we will be exploring upland and lowland areas, in the area around Cwm Idwal, the Ogwen Valley and Nant Ffrancon.

After a night at the Swallow Falls Youth Hostel, we've arrived at Rhyd-y-Creuau, and just back from an upland glacial day in and around Cwm Idwal.

I mentioned the BritIce map, as a possible secondary source.

Last weekend was the Year 12 fieldtrip to Snowdonia
We headed for Rhyd-y-Creuau Field Studies Centre.

There's a virtual tour here

Coming up over the next few weeks will be a series of posts with resources and information regarding the field trip and the reasons why we visited Wales...
This will follow up some of the Skills ready for Paper 2 of the AS that we are preparing students for...
