SLN geographers go wild in the Dales!

What a fabulous success the weekend was (despite the warnings from concerned offspring about the dangers of meeting people from the Internet!!) 
The location was perfect (perhaps not exactly midway between Aberdeen and Maidstone, but not far off!)
The weather was "changeable" as the best forecasters say!
The resource swap shop was excellent - at least a baker's dozen of lessons for after half term (and a Beano and lots of pens)! 
The company was fantastic; we all got on so well. 
It is possibly one of the best professional opportunities for 2005 (with apologies to anyone running CPD!) 

I hope to be featuring more photos from members of the group in the near future! Please also see Geography Pages  for Alan Parkinson's illustrated diary of the weekend.
