Summer TV

Did you see BBC1 last night? It is my new favourite Geography programme on the TV. Griff Rhys Jones not only looks at the stunning scenery of Britains Mountains but looks at the local people lives, the settlements, the use of the land and most fantastically of all the GEOLOGY!! (it is a Land use (S3) and Rural Land Resoures(S5) topic dream).

Yesterday (Sunday 29th July) he looked at the NW Highlands, exploring Ben Hope, Suilven and the Cullins in Skye as well as crofting he also throws in some History for good measure. Next week set your DVD/Video/Sky+ (or any other recordable device) for the Lake district (this is very important for Higher Students as you have to learn about the Lake district, its features, uses and conflicts).

DON'T MISS IT. Incase you do (because you're sunning yourself on some tropical island) - Check out the web page for some stunning photographs and information from the programme.
