Geography Residential Trip to Isle of Wight

“There's no beginning, there'll be no end” sang the aptly named Wet, Wet, Wet. This certainly rang true when the rain came down during the geography residential to the Isle of Wight over half term, and boy, did it rain!

Sandwiched between storms Babet and Ciaran, 43 intrepid Third Years demonstrated huge amounts of resilience and good humour to visit this little gem of an island. We may have had to adapt our plans for the weather, but we were still able to see some of its hidden geographical treasures.

At The Needles, Allum Bay and Ventnor Cliffs we saw first-hand the power of nature, whilst at Compton Bay we walked, literally, in the footsteps of dinosaurs, spotting fossils from nearly 120 million years ago!

We even squeezed in some archery as well as high ropes at PGL.
