PROPOSED 4 DAY FIELD COURSE ‘ FIELD GEOLOGY FROM THE MALVERN HILLS TO THE COTSWOLDS’
Lifelong Learning 4 day course
October 2018: Saturday 20th – Tuesday 23rd
10.00 am – 5.00 pm each day
This highly scenic area spans the boundary between older folded rocks seen in much of Wales, and younger flatter rocks in southern England. The course includes those from Precambrian to Jurassic age: metamorphics on the craggy Malverns, red desert strata in a cliff on the River Severn, and shelly oolitic limestones (some formerly containing dinosaur bones) in Cotswold quarries.
No prior knowledge of geology or the locations is assumed.
Please note you will need to make your own travel and accommodation arrangements; meeting times and places to be confirmed.
The course is organised through Cardiff University. It carries assessment, which is very difficult to fail! Attendees usually find assessment on these courses useful for consolidating what they have learned.
Tuition fee is £165.00 (concessionary fee available £132.00).
Enrolments can be made by ‘phoning 029 2087 0000 or see website www.cardiff.ac.uk/learn
