The life of a Geography student

Last week we were off on our annual geog field trip, this time to the Sierra Nevarda mountain range in Spain's sunny south.

The aim was to assess the evidence of climate change in the mountains and what warming was doing to the local environment.

Naturally this work involved lots of time by the pool, eating tapas washed down with copious ammounts of rosé.

We did some field work as well.  Often in the pouring rain but it was good fun all the same.

Important relaxation time was spent chilling in the pool

We handed the work in on the last night then enjopyed a banquet put on by the hotel.

Thanks to all the lecturers and students for a great trip.
