An excellent trip with top geography being observed and recorded throughout. The study of the redevelopment of the Birmingham Inner City and CBD areas will support your case stduies whilct increasing your understanding of how and why change has taken place.
The rivers day allowed you to see the changes that can take place in an upland area where there are sttep slopes with an impermeable underlying rock type. All this linked well to the infiltration work that you carried out and provided a practical experience of the theory covered in class.
The flood risk and management day introduced you to calculating risk and severity in an urban area and closely linked to the work you have been doing in class recently.
Rural villages allowed you to assess the validity of Cloake's model and also to be aware of the changes taking place in rural areas as a result of sub-urbanisation.
Working together as a group was very important and using the randomiser you were able to experience working with different people over the course of the four days.
Hopefully you will be able to apply these experiences in the exams next summer.
