Geography of Great Britain
Maybe you were one of those who hated geography but knew you weren't being taught well? Give yourself a second chance and join this friendly relaxed group. You don't need any prior knowledge but you will need access to a computer as that is the main way to find information without wasting a lot of time, effort and money.
We study the British Isles county by county (though not in any particular order - we're driven by everyone's enthusiasm). Our take on 'geography' is that it can include absolutely everything: physical geography; human geography; places and tourist attractions; areas of Special Scientific Interest; Heritage sites; the origins of names; languages; flags, crests and mottoes; waterways; even archaeology and of course, a generous dose of historical events.
We started with Cornwall back in 2014, now we only have the Scilly Isles, Greater London and 3 areas of Scotland to cover. Then we can begin again! Sometimes we need to take more than one session over a county - such as when we did Yorkshire. London is a massive challenge too.
We bring everything we can find to the group - maps, plans, brochures, personal photographs, books, and above all, the results of extensive 'googling'. It's not uncommon for a session to make some members feel they really must visit a county they've never been to before. Indeed once or twice that's actually happened.
