Year 12 Hastings Visit

On Monday 7th July, the Year 12 Geography A Level class went on a field trip to Hastings. The trip was an ideal opportunity to test fieldwork techniques studied in class and witness key geographical processes in action. The students used different techniques to measure the beach profiles in two locations. They looked at the impact of longshore drift by measuring the height of sediment either side of groynes. Some students also attempted to measure the rate of longshore drift with home-painted pink pebbles, which was a less successful method! In addition the students sketched the numerous types of human management of the coast.
