When
Mon, 9 July, 19:30 – 21:30
Description
Planetary Geology. Monday 16th April, for 10 weeks, until 9th July (not 7th nor 28th May). The state of knowledge of the planets of the solar system has improved vastly in the past 40 years as a result of space missions and improved technology for observation and analysis. The course will examine the results of this activity and evidence for these interpretations in terms of the internal structure, magnetism and geophysics of these bodies; their tectonics and volcanism, the effects of impacting bodies, and the surface conditions –atmospheres, oceans, sedimentary features and biology. Held at Wynstones School, Stroud Road, Whaddon, Gloucester from 7.30-9.30pm on Mondays. Cost £70.

Description
10th July Tidenham Chase, Limestone Pavement and the Devil’s Pulpit
Lying in the southern part of the Forest of Dean, where it narrows between the Wye and Severn, this 
area is one of the best in Gloucestershire to illustrate the relationships between rock type, soils 
and vegetation; underlain by almost horizontally bedded lower Carboniferous sandstones and 
limestones. We will attempt a circular walk around the area, taking in the conservation area of The 
Park, the limestone pavements in East Wood and the famous viewpoint on the edge of the Wye Valley 
above Tintern.
Meet at the car park for Offas Dyke Path on the B4228 (St Briavels to Chepstow) GR ST 559 993

Rockwatch Excursion to Pembrokeshire
When
14 – 15 Jul 2018
Description
South Wales Annual Weekend in Pembrokeshire 

 
This year we will be exploring the stunning Pembrokeshire coast.  We will be investigating the spectacular geology, scenery and building stones of the St David’s Peninsula which includes sedimentary and igneous rocks (Precambrian – Ordovician) and Quaternary landforms and deposits which give an important insight into ‘climate change’.  There will be walks along the local coastal footpath as far as Porthliskey and a look at the north coast of the peninsula.  Suitable for 10 year olds and above as there is a fair amount of walking to do!   Book through the website
